Having now attended 2 futurities and talking to many of the exhibitors I think the futurity committee needs to consider changing the start time back to 8 am. Most of the exhibitors are already there the night before and everyone would like to get back on the road at a reasonable time plus it would be much better to have a early start for the dogs rather then having them running in late after noon temps of 95 -100 ..The other thing mentioned- since the PC puts so much priority on the futurity/maturities when there is a change of judges the exhibitors should be able to change their entries to another region. As it is right now they are forced to show under a judge who may not be right for their animal or just not show at all. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
