9.2-9/5/09 Motion to instruct our AKC Delegate, Peter Piusz, to vote "No" on the creation of a Northern Group; the Sporting Group split; and the Hound Group split. The ARC BOD feels that the negative effects of this change (additional expenses for rosettes, trophies, judges; additional time to judge 10 rather than 7 groups; expense to AKC to revise all materials) definitely outweigh any possible benefits (increase of entries [we don't believe that will happen], additional opportunities for group placements).

PASSED
: 9/9/09
