I like the futurity system the way it is,,,,,,,but a few changes i would
like to see have more to do with the judges and allowing more breeders to be
eligible to judge since, as it is now it is next to impossible to get the
match requirements in certain areas..................I had a HELL of a time
getting alternates,,,,,,and i took it serious since this past year so many
alternates ended up judging...........
Also i feel the trophies need to be scaled way down on costs..............it
is way too costly for the clubs and it is getting harder and harder to get
the donations. (I am going through this currently). More and more i can see
a hardship coming on for the clubs sponsoring the futurity as money is
tougher to come by and entries and participation is dwindling.....
Since Pro-Plan sponsors the futurities can't there be some kind of
incentives for the clubs who work so hard to host the futurities ?
I have faith we will see some improvements in these areas in the
future........
