I would think the COST/ Expense could be a very good reason....but I don't really understand why 2 or 3 more Futurities than you agree with would keep anyone from nominating a litter...........? If anything it would make it more possible to get those litters TO a Futurity. <G> Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxx _www.marhaven.com_ (http://www.marhaven.com) No, my comment had nothing to do with number of regions. My point was that if people don't nominate and the numbers continue dropping, the argument that "the quality is still as deep as it ever was" is just plain silly.
