My question would be why offer something that is no longer desired? The proof
is
in the entries.

I will better understand this thinking as soon as someone can explain to me the
"logic" of
how it makes it better for the breeder / exhibitor to have to travel a lot
farther to find a Futurity
for their promising puppies by taking away some of the more local Futurities
and
at the same
time give them even less choices of show dates and judges.
When did we start governing how big an entry should be?
By the same logic we should contact A.K.C. and suggest less shows. After
all...their entries
are way down. Explain that to the local Clubs that put them on. <G>
Why can't we allow the Clubs to make that decision? The local Clubs are the
support base
and the workers that put them on.
Maybe some would rather put on a small Futurity than no Futurity? Maybe some
of the exhibitors
did not like the date or prefer the judge or the judge change .....or their
puppies just plain fell apart.
It happens.
Possibly your Futurity / Maturity Victor or Victrix will come out of the
smallest Futurity!?
It happens.
Maybe it was because the Futurity was on Sunday instead of Friday and by then
those entered
saw the competition....were tired, had not done well, and pulled out.
It happens.
Possibly making it easier to get to a closer Futurity by having the Futurity
Regions we have now.
instead of making them farther apart with even LESS choices is still the best
way to keep the
breeder/ exhibitor participating .........even with low entries.

Surely that is a good idea. Especially during Futurity season regional
specialty clubs that are
not hosting a futurity cannot get enough of an entry to support their club.
Look at the number
of regional specialty clubs that are folding. In Louisiana we have two
regional specialty clubs
left and neither one have stand alone specialty. They do their shows with AB
shows either
as a night time show or a supported entry. I think it will come a point
where exhibitors will
need to decide what is more important a match placing/win or a win/major at
a
point show.

I support the futurities and plan to show four of my own youngsters in my
region but looking
at the futurities held so far I have to wonder about the future of this
event.
The MA Regional had thirty-seven dogs shown in their futurity which looks
good when
considering that the SE Regional had sixteen dogs shown in the their
futurity with no
class having more than three entries and five classes having one or two
shown.
The SP Regional had only eighteen shown and five classes with one or two
shown.
Hopefully the remaining futurities will do better than this.
Maybe time to reduce the number of regions. Jim Barnhart
