Sally opines...

It always amazes me at the reasoning behind small futurities. When I use to 
show at futurities we picked them by where we thought our dogs would win. 
Not by how close it was or what region.   So therefore the judge was the 
most important decision.

Paul adds...

Bingo...game...set...and match. Sally hits the nail on the head. It's no 
different than a regular show except many of you seem to think it's "juz a 
match". I guess that depends on how important you view the futurity/maturity 
system. I think it's made a difference in the way we approach our breeding 
program and you all should...too. That is the purpose of the futurity system 
ya know.

Why would I stay and show locally to a Judge I know wouldn't like my dog? 
That knowledge would be based on my perception of the Judge's likes, 
dislikes, my dogs, and whether they would fit that criteria. I do "like" to 
stay local if possible...but will travel for success over 4th place wood.

JMO...as always...

Paul
