The AKC wants you to do 25/hr. They'll let a brand new Provisional get by ,for awhile ,with 20. Most Supt. ask how many dogs you usually judge per hr. so they can schedule. I always schedule myself fo 30/hr--AND I still have a lot of fun judging. I talk,I kiss and hug dogs-I wouldn't judge if it wasn't FUN. In July 2005,it will be 40 years of judging,and I love it and have a ball Having fun doesn't mean you have to go slow <VBG> Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
