I saw this as well.? Many dogs slipping.? Have not seen as much it in the past so I am wondering if they changed the "carpet" they used.? It was a problem for all the Groups, not just herding.? Hope they think about that in the future.? They can sure afford good footing for this venue.

Is it indoor/outdoor carpeting? I noticed so many of the dogs slipping in the corners. They need to invest in that blue carpet the use at Eukanuba. Man is that ever great to run on. It's even padded!
