I think we're all gonna have to face it, America is getting more lazy every day. It's all about easy! All you have to do is go in a restaurant and watch the young folks with their heads buried in their cell phones. If you go to any of the bigger hunts now, the numbers I see rising is the young ladies showing dogs. I remember going to the Oaks back in the 90's and the bench show was held out side under the pavilion, now it's a full blown event held in an air condition arena with 2 show floors going on at the same time and folks fill the stands and even bring their own chairs. Why?? Because it's easier than going out every night exposing yourself to all the elements and being tired all the time. Please, don't get me wrong, I'm very pleased to see any youth or the other gender get involved in our sport but that's only half of it. Speaking of Autumn Oaks, I starting camping there back in the 90's and had ample room and close to the activities. Now if you don't get there on Tuesday or at the latest Wednesday, you'd better rent one of those golf carts or you're gonna be doing some serious walking! Why is this?? I see plenty of youth at AO and it's more packed than ever. Figure that out and it may be a beginning.
