Two suggestions.....Specialty shows need to be held throughout the
year...not just in March, April, May, and June.....I can attend at least two
Specialies on almost any given weekend during these months....
In a perfect world it would be great. But being in a specialty club, we
used to be sistered with another specialty club and have spring and fall
shows.
The fall one frequently was a week before, week of, or week after the
national and that hurt entries a lot. So when we split and went stand alone,
we got
a spring date. Now, being in the south, you cannot go past early May to be
outside or its too hot, and often late Jan or Feb are still a bit cool down
here and often wet. And of course, then there are the futurities. If you
can host one every 4-5 years, the extra revenue help keeps you afloat for the
"leaner" years.
One thing I would really like to say to keep you going is you must have good
support from other clubs. Although in Texas nothing is close to each other,
I find the Texas clubs and exhibitors are great in supporting one another
and keep the entries to a level we can still have shows. Last year we had
only
a couple of handlers and still managed to make things work with the great
young handlers we have "home brewed" and I think it still managed to be fun.
And it has to stay being fun............
I do resent the comments that no good dogs show up at AB shows. I have a
lovely Jamiroquai son I showed last month in Houston for 4 and 5 pt majors
that
took breed 2 days and a grp 1 on one of them with a totally unknown handler
and the judges comments for him were basically on target with my thoughts of
him after 36 years of breeding.
And referring to Wendys post, I have again just recently told someone to be
true to yourself, like what you have in your back yard and pursue your
dreams. Eventually, if you hold firm and keep educating yourself, dreams can
come
true.
