", it seems clear to me that that means they can all be Performance.<BR/><BR/>I think that this change in particular will draw a lot more people into Performance, just based on people I know in this area.<BR/><BR/>-ellenElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-30797825363626721332008-01-10T08:59:00.000-08:002008-01-10T08:59:00.000-08:00Do you know if the legs have to be a mixture or ca...Do you know if the legs have to be a mixture or can they be all from Perf.?<BR/><BR/>On the one hand I think a 2 year grace period for those Tourney/Relay legs for the APD is plenty so they shouldn't need to provide another year of grandfathering. On the other hand it's not much help if you live in an area where you can't get relay or team partners and your dog's not getting any younger. Hopefully the new rules will encourage more people to take advantage of the drop in height for their older dogs. There are a huge number of dogs in the 16" PIII classes in my area this year compared to last, hopefully other areas will enjoy increases as well.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.com
