Actually, I would venture to say that only a small portion of the membership 
votes on judges and an even smaller percentage know who they are voting for. 
Many of the people that vote in these situations either think it is an 
obligation or a right, in which case, they vote for familiar names, ie, Ed, Bob 
and Rita.
I am not saying anyone is good or bad, but by having the same people over and 
over within the timeframe of four years, you are allowing for so many of the 
same dogs to be shown again and again to these same people.

And, whether or not anyone agrees with me, a certain percentage of people do 
breed with the idea of who is judging the National, handlers pick their dogs 
accordingly and clients pick their handlers accordingly. I am not painting 
everyone with the same brush, but none of this helps the breed.

Entries will be up because it is a fairly central location, but I am sure 
plenty of people are groaning today too.

JMHO. Time for me to start packing for Atlanta next week.
