I certainly don't mean any disrespect or seem ungrateful for our amateur win
but I'm still unclear if this event is supposed to be about the DOGS or the
HANDLERS? I already compete and do well in regular futurities so I
personally entered mine for the handler not the dogs. If it's supposed to
be about the handler and was decided to be limited to only JR's is it the
dog or the handling ability that will be judged? Although I'm all for any
event that will attract more kids into the fancy we already have Jr
showmanship.
Christine already hit the nail on the head. The people who chronically
complain about competing against pro handlers as an excuse for not being
more involved in showing will not participate in any event under any rules.
If they can't afford to hire a handler, they probably can't afford the
travel expenses and time off work to the event and/or the National finals.
Which brings me to my next question since it's not addressed on the entry
form (or I missed it), what does the winner of the National finals get? A
ribbon? A plaque? are they an Amatuer Victor/Victrix? Do the parents get
ROM points?
Just trying to understand.
