Hello everyone, If TC tests were common place the number of entries per test would drop & odd's are a test would not even pay. Traveling expenses to get a TC evaluator to distant show site could be quite a burden to put on small clubs, particularly if the test might not cover it's expenses. I think a better solution would be for a futurity hosting club to be required to hold a TC test either on the weekend of their futurity or sometime within that hosting year. That way we would have at least one TC test in each region per year. Bonnie Jenkins BonJen Shepherds www.BonJen.com In a message dated 4/23/2009 3:31:22 P.M.

Excellent idea about requiring specialities to hold a Temperament Test and I would go further and say once a year. Helen **************Big savings on Dell XPS Laptops and Desktops!
