Amy, If there is a change of judge in an AKC show exhibitors do have the choice of not showing and getting a refund. They must do so before the opening of the show that morning but it can be done. I am only quoting what AKC does I have no opinion as to whether the PC should refund or not. I just see in your post you say that the PC follows what AKC does and I think they do it different since they do not refund. Lee Brown That confused me too, it may be that some haven't asked for a refund, but I thought that's was still an option. Let it be clear, I am not affected by the judges change. I am just wondering how the situation will be handled. It is most unfortunate, in many ways. Ileana **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
