But I have the answer! Each judge looks at his entries and points the finger
at any and all that should be at the National :-)
(I think Ed is ‘catching,” and I may have caught the bug :-)
Have a good afternoon and I’ll be watching you

In 2000 ( I think), the Futurity was in Las Vegas. A dog I bred was the top
contender. Alas, that was the year before they began Reserve. I *was* able
to hear the Judge say that she wished that it was THAT year that Reserves
could be given. :-(
It would have been fun.
But where would you draw the line. What if the top 3 dogs were so darn
equal.. Should the 3rd place dog go to the National and compete? I think of
the Top Futurity dog/bitch as a BOB… and while AKC now gives BOB Reserve
(Don’t see sense in that, either), I guess Futurity BOB (BIF) can have a
reserve, too. I’m just confusing myself.

I'll comment on the "minimum entry to have a reserve"... Hope this does NOT
happen! Say there are only 9 dogs entered.... Well who is to say that two of
these dogs aren't in fact the best two dogs in the country!... Why should one
not be allowed a reserve win because of low numbers!... If there are worthy
dogs entered, a reserve should be granted! Ed

The Fut/Mat controversy has resulted in more posts than I can possibly
comprehend between Facebook and The List.
Some common themes.
If only 9 or 10 dogs compete, should reserve be given? Should we have a
minimum shown to qualify for reserve and a trip to the National? (Point
scale logic)
Should we continue to allow double entries? In some regions dogs were double
entered and only had to beat a handful of dogs. (Check out your competition
and have 20% plus odds of winning reserve or better.
The 3 largest Fut/Mat entries were non pro handlers. Why did so many clubs
invite handlers and did this hurt entries? Is it is conflict when the
handlers have to compete under each other at Fut/Mat and judge one?
Should we continue to award expensive wood plaques for 3rd place in a class
of 3?
Should we reduce regions to bring back the prestige in winning and placing?
(Let's face it; all the handlers discuss who is going where so everyone gets
a slice to the big dance)
Is the fact that many handlers are showing their own dogs and promoting stud
dogs hurting the entries?
One important note. The Fut chair let us know on Facebook that the GSDCA and
Regional Clubs are not losing money.
PS Glad Jen took the job.
