Does the AKC still allow an observer in the ring?  Maybe instead of making the 
National seminar a requirement, it could be optional... The breeder who wants 
to judge a futurity could choose among the National seminar, watching a DVD, 
and observing in the ring with a specialty judge...choose, say, two out of 
three...

I do think it would be helpful for someone to stand in the middle of the ring 
with the judge and learn/talk about the actual ring procedure etc..... When I 
first started judging, I wasn't nervous about choosing the dogs, I was nervous 
about the actual procedure... Making sure it was organized, and consistent for 
each exhibitor....potential breeder/futurity judges know the good dogs, but 
might benefit from observing in the ring with a specialty judge if for no other 
reason than to be up close and personal in the center of the ring and talk 
about procedure .  

JMO,
