No one judge can be over 170 dogs in a day. I don't think the scheduling and changes can be done without human intervention. In many European shows, there is a sliding scale. The earlier you enter, the lower the fee. I would love to see $2 entries though! Maybe someone can have a retro show. Bring back the old prices for a weekend.Whippeteerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11911675107957695913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816510349128968320.post-57423845039214004322016-04-08T14:26:55.127-04:002016-04-08T14:26:55.127-04:00Remember, in early races the starters threw the do...Remember, in early races the starters threw the dogs physically into their strides. Although whippets ranged in size from 14-50#, the "best" size was considered to be 16#. Much smaller than today.
