Evan, what is wrong with holding your dog in the ring, while the other class
is finishing up. Then they can get started right away on the next class,
instead of staring at the empty ring. Dog specials were 25 minutes later then
the announced starting time. It seemed like the ring was empty for 2 hours
between bitches and dogs.
I think it is a good idea, but it was stressful on some waiting to see if
their handler got cut in the other ring. It also created bad sportsmanship
wishing for someone else to lose so you could get the handler on your dog.
I also know this year we got back to the rooms late, exhausted and had
little time. If we crowd it into three days, how much longer would it run? I
don't want to rush the judging, or demand how many dogs they judge in an hour.
I
do think there was some empty time in the rings, but it was for pictures,
etc.
Be careful if we tinker with the times, it may just make it harder.
I would not have wanted to cut Dallas' class, or not see Tammy with
Mephisto. I know we now recognize many other venues, and they deserve to be
honored.
We could start earlier, I know with the time change, I was up at three each
day. Maybe that is a solution.
Or, what if we went through the night, or had three rings like they do in
the circus? How about three judges, and maybe do the individuals earlier like
they do in Germany. We could do the individuals in the home states, and send
in certifications. There are a lot of these sort of good ideas.
Have we considered using pictures for the individuals, and just bring the
dogs in at a trot, and keep them moving to pick the winners?
Keep those cards and letters coming in.
