I think it may well have been higher...I just couldn't get more than this one catalog....... It's amazing that people will work so hard to build a major for someone they know nothing about...personally, I'd rather have a small entry of quality dogs, such as I had last weekend at the Santa Ana Valley show, than a large entry of fillers...and I'm sure Meredith Johnson-Snyder would agree with me that it was a quality entry...but those were supported shows, and I know the Browns were disappointed that the entry wasn't larger........bringing specialty judges all the way across the country and not getting a better turnout doesn't encourage clubs to bring single breed judges in the future. As it was, both Meredith and I do enough breeds to make it feasible.... Peggy Robert Dir wrote: >It was even higher in the 70's I think Peggy. How times have changed.
