Sally ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------ Good point Sally. It is hard to plan when you are going to the 3rd alternate, as what happened in 2 regions this year. But at the same time, how do you plan for last minute changes. It isn't a lot different than entering a show with a show superintendent....once the entries are in and tabulated, they are in stone. Could you just imagine if 100 entries at the last minute wanted to pull and enter some where else? And then what happens to the futurity giving club? It's not that I am saying you suggest a bad idea at all.....just do not know what a reasonable answer is to make things fair all the way around. The old saying always comes back to mind - you pay your money, you take your chances. We have all been there.... <Molly Trillia German Shepherds ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
