It will be all Purina all the time regardless of how they have to make it
happen.

I don't know about everyone else....but I really appreciate Linda giving
us some facts and details for the 2017 National
and some insight into some problems that could likely arise out of this
change. HOPEFULLY Linda and maybe even
some other Board members will occasionally bring us up to speed on what
and why something is changing or going on
with the Board, the National or anything that affects us and our
membership.
Zoe was good about doing this.....and occasionally took some real heat for
it .....but she was always appreciated for it.
That being said.....I STILL wonder why the Board is not seriously looking
into another site?? We will all survive an outdoor
National but it sure would be a lot more reasonable to consider an outdoor
National in some place like Arizona where the
weather will be more reasonable for that time of year?? I understood
the change went from Reno to Purina site so quickly
and easily BECAUSE Purina was already available during the time frame of
our National and we had to jump on it...........??
GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS.....and those already serving on
the Board!! HOPEFULLY we will see
some real changes in all working together to remember and consider the
members and the success of future Nationals for ALL......
THANKS Linda!

The Monday-Friday dates were the only option. Purina was booked on
weekends.

I am curious what considerations went into Monday-Friday, rather than say…
Wednesday-Sunday or Thursday-Saturday.
Was Purina available for the National on that weekend? What was the
reasoning for having it that week?
Call me curious.
Thanks

Yes the National will end on Friday next year.
The facility at Purina is available indoors that week. Purina is also
available outdoors that week.
Gail will be reporting to The BOD at The January meeting and making
recommendations on whether to hold judging indoors or outdoors. Under
consideration:
Live Stream/DVD: The current company can't provide if outdoors. Is there
another company that can provide this? If not; how important is
professional DVD/Live Stream to the membership?
Vendors: If the show is held outdoors; will vendors have space? What if
weather is not desirable?
Seating: How can The GSDCA accommodate preferred seating if outdoors?
Handicapped/Elderly: If outdoors; are the members able to get to ringside
safely and easily?
Ring size: I the space we use for The Regional Show large enough for the
National entry. (Best of Breed had over 60 male entries.)
Weather: Rain? Mud? Cold?
