I think the problem is not just no new people coming in the breed but you
are going to be seeing a lot of the ol timers leaving it. More and more of
the
people I talk to are just about on their way out of dogs. Not because they
want to be but because they can no longer justify the expense of showing.
These are not people leaving for wda or switching to other breeds these are
people who no longer are willing to pay 2-4 hundred dollars for a weekend
plus
their own expenses. These are people who are no longer willing to use
handlers who have their own stud dogs and breeding programs . People who do
not
want to pay to compete with their own handlers. As the economy gets tighter
dog shows will get smaller.
