I would agree with the person that said it's hard enough to get members to help and be officers. Why would you want to "reward" them but not letting them show at the specialty??? Our officers have no contact with the judges. As far as showing to judges you know, again it's a naive statement. If you've been in this long enough, you know people who are or have become judges. As long as you don't have a "business" relationship (aside from using stud dogs), co-own dogs or have traveled with someone, you should not be barred from showing to that person.
