I had a Jr. show my dogs when Basu had a conflict of interest.......I insisted that she take my money even though she was showing in Jr. events.....I won't say her name, but her mom is on this list and the Jr is now about 26 or 27 years old now...the rule is just another way we disrespect kids!....and as for Mr. Tank.......if for some reason I had a show dog and either Summer or Hunter showed it.....I would pay them also....That Jr. rule is outrageous and probably unconstitutional...I plan to "occupy" the AKC....let my Jrs. make money!!!!!!!...Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
