I fully agree............but there are always some that decide to leave early......it may not even be the show but something going on with dogs or at home......it's just a fact. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cynthia VanDenBerge To: Show GSD List Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 1:03 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: show question I have seen it happen that a dog will place and not win for three in a row and then on the last show....bingo. Have that happen once or twice and it makes you want to stay the duration...lol Cynthia --- On Wed, 9/10/08, Carolyn Martello <marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Carolyn Martello <marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: show question To: candiasgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, snowyrivergsd@xxxxxxxxx, showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2008, 9:53 AM As one who often travels long distances for a good Specialty weekend......I wholeheartedly agree. There will always be some exhibitors that have lost all weekend and know the competition is the same on Sunday and if they don't win Sunday morning either......they pack up and leave for the afternoon show on Sunday. They have the choice and you still have their entry. At least we have FOUR judges to show under or choose from for the long drive.....and for bringing a handler you have more shows for his expenses also......it's tiring....but it sure frees up more weekends for exhibitor and handler.........and the Clubs get it done in one day each.

With gas prices, lodging, handler expenses, etc., it's much cheaper on the exhibitor to have more shows in 1 weekend. I honestly would like to see more clubs combining their shows for 4 show weekends. Also, if I don't have anything for the F/M then it's not worth my time to drive for 1 specialty.
