Historically if if you go back an look at old Reviews, many animals =
tha=3D
t placed 3 or 4th went on to have better carreers than animals that won =
the=3D
ir futurities so at the end of the day they would not have been rewarded =
by=3D
the reserve system anyhow. acknowledging a junior puppy that has =
potentia=3D
l at his futurity by giving him a reserve at his futurity really only says =
=3D
that on that day he looked good it is not a guarantee that he will =
continue=3D
to mature in a positive way. He may get to the futurity finals and look =
gr=3D
eat or look really bad, either way you aren't going to side step the fact =
t=3D
hat it is a crap shoot. C.Grainger=3D20
Non of my 14 champions have ever won a futurity class. 4 of them, =
however, did win their maturity classes. I continue to not understand =
the importance the parent club gives to the sires of dams of futurity/matur=
ity winners while not extending the same recognition to the sires and dams =
of AKC major winners. We highlight both in the Red Book, but only the top =
futurity/maturity sires and dams are eligible for presentation at the =
national. Makes no sense to me...
