Huh??? I'll have to disregard your comment about the Fords. It has nothing
to do with what I wrote, or what we were discussing. I mentioned them because
they were fairly new at the time, and that is a good example of why we need
to reach out to new people to build the club and the game back up to what it
once was.
People have indeed given reasons why larger numbers in the shows and in the
club are better. I know I did, and you cut them out of your response? On the
other hand, the reason you gave for not worrying about growing the club or the
game was that you are happy. I personally do not see that as a good enough
reason to ignore the obvious problem. More and more people are quitting the
specialty ring. Too many are quitting showing dogs all together. Not enough
new people are interested enough to come into the game. Those are very serious
problems whether you see it or not.

See, this makes my point, thanks Tom. What is bad about small? Some keep
saying bigger is better, and give no reason for that.
As Tom pointed out, Fords were small breeders, they produced Lance.
Is the quality of the dogs being shown dropping, not that I have noticed.
The quality in the ring is better today than it ever has been, and yet the
entries are smaller. Maybe, it is time for those who have resisted to admit
it,
now join and say that smaller might just be better.
It does no good to keep insisting there is a problem, if there isn't. Other
than making more money in entry fees, larger entries do not provide better
quality.
