A couple of board members filled me in. They said that only 2 judges were nominated because the Board did not make a decision on where to hold the 2008 National until the last board meeting after they had seen the Conroe site. Because they didn't have a definite 2008 site/date, the board members who typically bring performance judges to the table would have had to give any potential judge 2 different dates and sites to hold. That might be ok for a conformation judge who is dying to judge our national but any obedience or performance judge would think we were crazy. Judging our national is not a huge honor for a lot of them and they get booked very far in advance. So, please get your favorite obedience judges to run by petition.

Actually, I am not sure but maybe all judges should run by petition. It's your club and your National so why not get involved? The Board is not made up of people that show or compete in all venues so they are reluctant to nominate people they know nothing about.

Plus, it would be good to have some extra names to choose from. Dalene caught that right away when the B-O-G came out. I don't know exactly how that will be rectified, but I'm sure it will be fixed before we vote. Linda Legato German Shepherds ----------- I think it's interesting that only 2 obedience judges were nominated when typically we use at least three, don't we?
