The division of Groups failed to pass during the AKC delegates vote. The division would allow more groups in the ring which was eleven groups compared to the now seven groups.



The new group allignment would have allowed Scent Hounds and Sighthounds judged separately.



I'm disappointed in the outcome of this election. So, there would have been more ribbons to order or more time to be judged or more rings to run or a little more effort on everyones part.



Entries have been dropping and exhibitors somewhat frustrated and breeders disgusted with AKC shows.



Remember when AKC separated Working and created Herding. That was a very good thing. It did work and work well.



Hoping for another chance to bring this issue back up for a vote.
