I have not been in favor of earlier futurities, just because we seem to have winter up to May some years, but I will take the snow in Pennsylvania over the heat. ----------------------------------------------------- I tend to agree. After all, you can always put more clothing on... but there is only so much you can take off, and still be legal. <VBG> After being in OK, it has cured me from wanting a long outdoor show (sorry Lew but an outdoor National after suffering through Oklahoma.. mmm... no thank you <G>). Granted this seems to have been an early and excessively hot spring to summer transition, but IMO there is no reason to have us or our dogs have to suffer through these kinds of heat extreams. It took me just shy of a week to recover from Oklahoma, where I swear I was on the verge of heat exhaustion for 2 out of the 3 days. Sure there is a concern that it would be snowing during a futurity in early March, but I would assume that clubs hosting futurities could work together and schedule the shows so that the warmer climates had their futuritys earlier, and the colder climates later. I wouldnt think it would be that hard to negotiate... but then again, I've never been involved in planning a futurity.
