Yes, Stormy, I realize that. I have judged specialties where there have been two in one day and there has never been a problem. The Austin and San Antonio specialties have had two shows in one day for the last couple of years. Again, no problem.

Actually, in the proposal from the Superintendents Association, if I'm reading it right, there are other innovative proposals, too. Such as, 2 AB shows, but one group.... allowing the specialty shows to have their show with an AB show, BUT allow the aB show to have classes for that breed, too. http://infodog.com/misc/multiday.htm Interesting proposals.
