Listers, Perhaps it would be a good thing if all of us stopped and thought about the POSSIBLE effect of sending information over the list regarding WHO is at a particular show/Futurity, WHAT dog(s) they have, WHAT those dog(s) might have won previously UNDER what judges etc, etc, etc, BEFORE the judging is even started!!!. Please, let's keep in mind that there are MANY judges on this list, they may be judging that same week-end on the last day of a 3 or 4 day event. Winning a Futurity/Maturity is thrilling and no doubt we all want to put out the word and that is certainly understandable. There can be a lot of pressure on judges, handlers, & owners at these very competitive events and perhaps it would be a good idea to refrain from too much talk prior to the judging of these events.
