***************************************************
To Show Secretaries who schedule 3 or less classes - it would be grately apreciated if you would make every effort to use a judge from our C list. They find it increasingly difficult to get the number of classes required for the B list when so few shows now put on American classes. Many of these people can also judge other breeds, which may be of help to you when choosing. Thank you.
