If we have to travel to get to a Futurity with an "iffy" young dog.. .......why would we be more motivated to go even farther away? How would we be even more motivated to show more of that litter in ONE Futurity that is even farther away? What if they are Judges we can't or won't show under.....then we have to go even farther? Sounds like a no show to me..... How will it free up more weekends if the Futurities are already set in conjunction with Specialty Shows that are already set anyway? I don't see one Futurity standing alone. If a certain number of dogs are entered in a Futurity....and they are farther to travel to.....the number of dogs is still the same......but a still MORE distance to travel? And this helps how?
