So are you going to volunteer to do all the research to check and make sure only obedience people vote for obedience judges and only agility people vote for agility judges and only conformation people vote for conformation judges. Good grief you guys are totally over the edge. I know !!!! you could only mail obedience judge ballots to the people that entered obedience this year. and to hell with the new comers to the sport same thing for agility and conformation. In fact if you didn't enter conformation this year maybe you shouldn't be allowed to enter next year. Hell with enough work we can really make this a 2 day show. Be very careful of the rules you put into play. You are going to have to play by them. Terry TLSGSD@xxxxxxx wrote: In a message dated 10/23/2006 11:38:26 A.M.

Membership voting rights should be limited to the venues that the member has participated in AT the National within the past 5 years - by the bare minimum of making an entry in that venue. The only other caveat to that would be that AKC licensed judges or Members of 20+ years may also vote regardless of 5 year minimum. ABSOLUTELY!!!!! I refrain from voting for any other venue than conformation - I know nothing about the judges for them, so why would I want to stick them with what may be a not so great judge??
