One more thing to consider. As the specialty shows couple with the all breeds 
it will be very tempting to go with the judges that can judge more than one 
breed. The all breed clubs will pick up the judges tab in this case. That will 
be a big selling factor to a club who is struggling to host it's shows and 
doesn't have the people willing to step up and take down the clubs show 
equipment. They may be forfeiting some profit but they will be protected 
against loss. It is a smart business choice.

I do understand what you are saying Stormy but in today's world making it more 
difficult to attend a Specialty show won't do a thing for entries. The Oregon 
club did that very thing this year,  went with the Stump Town circuit, and had 
a total entry of 15 dogs. The judges were good. The entries were low. The Shows 
were a week after the Eugene shows which held for majors so that is probably 
why the entries were so low. There are just so many dollars a person is willing 
to spend on dog shows in the same month.

Just another thought.  Many entries at AB shows went down when the   
style of GSDs split *more* between "specialty GSDs" and "All Breed   
GSDs."  The "Specialty" types weren't winning under AB judges but   
could and did win under Specialty Ring Specialist Judges. 

I agree with Ken that talking specialty to specialty, the other breeds   
entries are coming back. It seems like almost every time I wander   
through an AB show, there is a huge sponsored ring (Goldens, labs, all   
the breeds whose entires are rising), so comparing those 'sponsored   
specialties" to our specialties, we still see too big of a difference   
in the entries. 

Maybe it's time to forego the wonderful get together, where everybody   
enjoys a few hours at a park where everybody knows everybody.  We all   
belong to 3 or 4 clubs and so (like shelter dogs being transferred)   
we're all counted 3 or 4 times for the club count.  And the same   
people do all the work for 3 or 4 clubs because that is the membership   
of those 3 or 4 clubs. 

I wish I knew the answer... But maybe (heresy) it's time to cut back   
on the amount of regional clubs, and think harder about combining the   
clubs to have  sponsored rings at an AB show. 

Aren't you glad you didn't vote me to be on the Board <VBG>

But if a person just shows at GSD Specialty shows,  who really sees   
the dog? It is usually 
just other breeders, show people with few spectators.  So these GSD's   
are 
only being exhibited to other owners and breeders of GSD's.  At the   
All-Breed 
Shows everyone sees your dog,  titles and ribbons are not everything.   
Exposing 
GSD's so others can see them is the important issue. When you are   
promoting 
your breed you get out with all breeds of dogs and compete.  Why is   
the Westminster 
is popular?  Look at the spectators that go there,  the breeders and   
owners 
that what to expose their GSD's they are so proud of.  As the   
announcer stated the GSD 
is always a crowd pleaser. 

Yes, I know it is costly to show at All-Breed Shows are any show for   
that fact.  But promoting 
what you dedicate your life should be every breeder and owners dream. 

Think dog showing is expensive,  try showing a horse they need a horse   
trailer and stabling to top the expense.

Then there's the judging. If it is a judge that has a clue what a GSD   
looks like, I will consider, if not-no thanks. 
Jmo!
