I realize combining specialties and allbreeds shows is a way for the clubs to
survive. But I think it has been these big circuits is one of the downfalls of
showing dogs. In my opinion we have way too many shows. Back to Backs use to be
allowed to help those clubs that were in the middle of no where and did not
have neighboring clubs have a successful weekend- Now it is common to have
3,4,5 day shows all the time. And all with in the same driving area. The
Thursday, friday, and Monday shows have a much smaller entry. If you are a
member of a club in the same driving area of one of these circuits you might
just as well kiss it off. The handlers are going to the multi day shows. As an
exhibitor they are financially devastating. There are a lot of handlers who
insist on their clients going for the majority of the shows . How many of us
working people can afford this many shows at one time.
I look back over my years in dogs and I sure would have done things differently
if I knew then what I know now. When you have a hot young dog you will run your
self ragged to get him "out there" with no thought as to what you spend , the
miles you drive or the fact you have to be home to work on Monday. How many
people do we see dropping out of dogs because of the cost? how many show once
or twice and say can't do this we have kids to raise.
Big is not always better.
