This is an article I just read in the magazine "SHOWSIGHT The Dog Show Magazine". It was written by Peter Belmont Jr. It is a fascinating and informative article about the survival of the smaller shows.
This is a quote from the Header of the article.
QUOTE "During these uncertain economic times, it is our smaller shows that need support. They must survive! Smaller dog shows are not only the way dog shows started out, they are still in the majority. True, our larger shows are more glamorous (on the surface only, pardon me) and receive greater media attention, but the smaller shows are the sport's lifeblood. I have exhibited and judges at both and I vote for the smaller" END QUOTE
If you get the opportunity, read it! It's a great article......got to love the small shows too!
