I don't see the problem in attempting awareness BEFORE the expense in
going.....?
Most of us want a successful National FOR ALL...and DO feel the problems need
to be addressed.
We totally understand and appreciate what Gail is working to do....and
therefore we are attempting
to help with information before the waste of time on her part OR the Board.
The funny thing is .....WE speaking out about the problems with these locations
would LOVE....
LOVE.... to have a National in Sacramento OR Reno....but we are trying to be
helpful and fair to
the rest of the Country....AND the National success.
I don't understand why that is taken as criticism of our National Chair, or a
'drama' or 'up in arms'
to give out information that we know because of experience? We use these
airports!
Literally....a GREAT NATIONAL for EVERYONE is the Goal....and benefits everyone
& the Breed.

I think many are "up in arms" because it's the last minute and we seem to be
scrambling again
and the next thing you know... It's "four more years" in St Louis! And not that
that is a bad idea,
it's not the wishes of the majority of the club... So I agree with the outcry
against Reno!
Remember the Reno club doesn't even have its show in Reno , Ed

My point is that "Up in arms" is ridiculously premature. There were MANY
locations mentioned at the board meeting. Do you know all of them? No - I am
certain nobody does. Literally the conversation about Reno was a few mins and
Gail was asked to research. That is all. For the life of me I don't get the
drama surrounding that. I will certainly call out the Board on items I feel
need addressed, but this just is not one of them and is a waste of our time and
energy to be "up in arms". I can appreciate several people who have knowledge
about Reno and any difficulties and getting the information to Gail to add to
her research, but other than doing that - anything else is just grumbling and
not necessary. The Board, nor Gail, is out to get a site that isn't easy to
get to or set us up for disaster.

Jeff, there are nice event centers in many locations! Doesn't mean they would
be good spots for folks getting German Shepherds there! Don't you think there
could be a problem with getting to the site if the locals are telling you the
site is NOT a good idea? And I think it's a good thing that several listers
are "up in arms" about going to Reno!.... We need to be careful who we put on
the board! Everything else is a smoke screen! Ed

As far as Reno and West Coast Sites - The Board and Gail are
doing their due diligence and researching sites. Nobody has determined Reno as
even a viable site, so all the hoopla is a bit premature. It was mentioned at
the board meeting that there was a nice event center there. The board told
Gail "Hey - research it and see what you find out. If it looks possible, go do
a site visit" THAT IS ALL THAT WAS SAID ABOUT RENO. So, calm yourselves..
geesh. ;-)

Whether I agree with you or not you have always been open and honest and in my
opinion a very effective board member. You state your views on subjects and you
explain ( good or bad) the reasoning of many board decisions.... I had wondered
why the handlers judging the futurities has now been eliminated.... Makes very
good sense, it ain't like we have millions of handlers, half of em you can't
even get in touch with ....But attempting to consider a Reno National makes no
sense at all! You have local people and former board members ( Dave and
Carolyn) telling the board that Reno is NOT a good idea, but we're going to
waste money sending the Show Chair to Reno with a crate? Re-read my last post
from yesterday! Oregon works, we've been there before..... What am I missing
... And again I can get to Reno driving in under 3 hours, but to have the
National there just makes no sense... I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Ed Hill

Wonder why handlers can no longer Judge Futurities after 2017?
<reply>
Handlers juding a f/m reduces the entry at that futurity
It actually brings down entries and revenue for the system. It was an
experiment that failed.
Also having a breeder judge in their own area brings down entries - they need
to judge where they
do not breed and sell their puppies to increase entries. Clubs need to think
of this when
they select their judges.
It is almost impossible to fly a dog anywhere these days. Airlines change the
plane sizes daily.
I dan take the same flight on Friday one week and Friday the next week and have
a totally
different sized plane.
Your Board is trying to find a west coast site that is affordable - works for
the club.
Gail is working her butt off and these negative comments are not helpful. She
will be taking a crate
to Reno. Thank you Gail for your hard work. Very few people wotrk as hard as
she does.
NO SITE is going to be perfect for everyone.
And sites are still available for 2017 and are being researched
Please be patient
This is my personal opinion and not the opinion of the Board which comes from
Lana.
