Entries have flat-lined for years. It’s no longer possible to cite specific existential factors and dismiss them as temporary blips in our big picture. That picture didn’t really improve following economic recovery after 2008. Nor has it gotten much better in our post-Covid era. There’s no shortage of theories explaining this but the most consistently stated reason comes back to the age-old complaint of bad judging.

In one wild week, the world of Artificial Intelligence was sent into a tailspin when the board of OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, gave the boot to its CEO, the visionary Sam Altman. Deals and theories ensued, and by the time you read this, Microsoft may or may not have absorbed OpenAI. Explanations for Altman’s departure span the gamut but most hint of the board’s fear that Altman wasn’t concerned enough about the potential dangers of AI. Or something like that.

I am writing this commentary the day after the conclusion of the AKC National Championship. I?am not writing it because of any dissatisfaction with the judging at this year’s show. I thought the judging was good and the final lineup had seven outstanding dogs for Clay to evaluate and choose the winner. I write this column not for the exhibitors because nearly everyone I talk to is intrigued by the idea of having a five-judge panel at the group and Best In Show level of this show. I am penning this message for the decision-makers at AKC, and I know it will probably fall on deaf ears.
