To throw another idea into the already too full pot... Restrict the futurities to the regions in which the Sire/Dam lived at time of whelping, and the contiguous regions. That takes it back to the original premise of showing what is being bred in what area. And owners of those pups who no longer live in those regions show in their home regions (only) w/permission. That gives choice. and nice complications:-) I like choice but not free for alls. But since I don't show or breed anymore, my opinion should count for what it's worth... zero.
