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.

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.
