Well, with the free nomination fee, I made sure to nominate all litters before they were born so I don't have to pay - Then I enter all the ones I keep just in case I want to show in Maturity. some go to futurity - some don't. Even a long time ago, I usually nominated litters but now they are going go be $30 after they are born?? Well I would nominate before they were born for free - and they got money from Purina - but at $30 a nomination I doubt we will do anymore futurities. Don't think I will pay $15 to nominate before they are born - anything can happen. Let's be for real - they are just a glorified match anyway and it costs a lot to do them. Next year will probably be our last futurity year if we go then. Oh well. Pat ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
