All of those activities are part of what makes a National just that.
Otherwise it is just a larger trial/show.
The National could be (should be) the premier education and PR event of the
year. But this club doesn't really think so, so it probably makes little
difference to any one but the people we want to convince of the superiority
of this breed and get to join the club.

do love it at Purina as Ed stated originally.
