I don't agree. I love finishing a show in time to get home early afternoon and not having to rush to feed dogs, eat dinner and get to be before midnight. I love going to a show where everything in the ring is true show quality. I love going to a show where all the dogs entered either have points, or will have points. I love going to a show with others who are dedicated to the sport, and not just out to show the family pet. I love being at shows with my friends, and knowing the breedings on all the entries. I enjoy going to the national and seeing a special class that can go more than eight Selects and quality that shows how much good our breedings have done. I like the shows just as much now as then. They are different, they are smaller, and they are overall, better quality. I don't want to go back to shows of 100 entries. I won just as much then as now. Finished as many champions then as now. Saw as many great dogs then as now. I am not ready to go back to 100 entries. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Evan L.
