What is
your opinion of scrambling the open and/or utility exercises?

I
can see that if you are campaigning or trying many times for a title, that it
would be beneficial.

Last
weekend I noticed a judge when giving commands, paused a long while before
giving his command (come, bar, jump etc.). He was looking for anticipation. To
me this is just setting the dog up to do just that!

In my
opinion, I would like to see the Open and Utility exercises scrambled.

Mixed up order of
exercises...I am not against this ONCE the dog has titled at the level its
competing at. I feel that a lot of people who say 'yes they are for it', have
yet to realize that doing a mixed up order from the get go, with a green dog is
not as easy as it sounds. Dogs need to have some experience where they gain
confidence and stability at doing the exercises in a ring situation. I feel
this can be accomplished by having a consistent order in the beginning. In my
opinion, it is almost impossible to re-create the identical scenario when you
train a dog with a mixed up order as you do in the ring. Therefore, I believe
that the dogs should have the opportunity to title FIRST, and then 'graduate'
into the area of doing a mixed up order of exercises. OR, you can leave things
the way they are.

High Combined...with the
introduction of advanced titles where dogs must double Q out of open and utility
in order to get legs towards those titles, I think it is appropriate for a 'High
Combined' award/rosette to be put in place. This would be given to the dog that
scores the highest scores out of both open and utility in the same trial.
