I definitely agree.. I just wouldn't like to see all the dogs on one day, the bitches on the next.. I like it when the sexes are alternated.. 200 dogs a day could still be done,and still alternate sexes.. Realizing that our Canadian national is typically not as big an entry as the US one, we still manage to get it all in (including Fut/Mat) in the 3 days - The GSDCA could even start with the fut/mat on Wed afternoon, start the puppy classes and go from there - if entries warranted the "extra" time.. just my thoughts..

One judge is doing just dogs.. so, if you included breaks (even non union workers get breaks <g>) you are still We used to have 200 Dog entry and 200 Bitch entry,but I might be wrong ,but I don't think we ever had 200 Specials I stated last summer many ways that we used to do it to get done in 3 days.We even had a Fri Sat Sun National,so people wouldn't miss work. It can be done,but the membership has to decide that's what they want so their Board can offer up plans Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
