Kim and all: As a serious herding exhibitor & conformation exhibitor - I would really like to see the herding trial held on Monday & Tuesday and on the same site as the rest of the national. When it is held on the weekend before - it means basically 2 trips, one to the herding trial and one to the national for everything else. This is definitely the case when the trial is held at a separate location. We wonder why there is such a separation between performance and conformation exhibitors and fancier - this is why. ~ Val Manning Rancho Terra Norte' Wellington, CO -----Original Message----- From: Kim McNamara <klite3gsd@xxxxxxxxx> To: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Mon, May 17, 2010 2:18 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Purina scheduling < Herding is already the weekend before and usually at a different site. It oes make some sense to have everything on site and all performance on the ame days followed by all conformation.>> ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
