O.k, my $.02 and probably what it's worth. My first litter, I'm definitely
a newby, year 2000. Loved the idea of the futurity, had never attended one
(actually never attended a specialty show until this litter!), but nominated
the litter, loved the idea of showing my littermates, entered 4 of them in 2
different shows, showed 3 of them. The first show, a pup that I sold won First
Wood in her large teenage class, and if there was a reserve that year!. Gave
the wood to the owner, but got a picture of it, still, framed! The next show,
got 2 3rd Woods, they are in a place of honor. (Didn't get name breeders
knocking down my doors because of my fantastic litter, though LOL)
A couple years later, a co-owned bitch got 1st wood (small class, but "as
they say" quality filled, all three of them LOL), and my boy brought home 2nd
wood from a bigger class. No rush to co-own, get a breeding, etc., etc.
Point being, I LOVE my Plaques, ANd NOBODY is going to take them from me,
What an honor to be judged in this great group and win placements!!!!!
But as far as being a breeder's showcase? I don't think so anymore. I
think they are publicity for future shows, for the National, for the pictures,
and maybe some other areas, I hadn't heard of. I was careful and the expense
wasn't too bad, but for some people, it's outrageous, and unfortunately, that
outrageous cost sometimes brings the results.
