The thing I dislike about the Futurity reserve is that the reserve dogs go
into the same ring as the winners when they get to the national. I think
the
reserves should compete against each other for the right to go into the
Futurity
finals rings, and that should be done at the national just before the
futurity finals. I honestly think that would give some credit to the winner
for
being the winner, while at the same time add some excitement for the
audience. It
also wouldn't take anything away from the competition. There can be only
one
winner in each category anyway. Unless you're really into winning another
plaque, there is no advantage to being the actual winner of a futurity.

================================================
I seldom disagree with tom but in the case of reserve at the Futurity. At
the futurity finals we are trying to find the best young dogs in the country.
When the dogs are shown at the regional level some of the dogs are shown at a
great disadvantage that would be the Jr. & teenage classes. Having a reserve
gives the judge the opportunity to give a younger dog who he might feel has
great potential a second chance with a few more months development time. That
said I do feel that the entry must be at a certain level to merit a reserve.
And I also feel the judge should have the option of not awarding a reserve.
