Am I understanding that only handlers and AKC judges are allowed to just this 
Futurity/Maturity ~match~?
I think a breeder who has had a certain amount of champions under his/her belt 
would do a great job, and would give a good fresh look to the whole affair.  

I would have LOVED to have had Carolyn, or somebody with similar wonderful 
background and knowledge, be the judge of the Futurity matches I had entered!
