I don't see how an outdoor national would work there. First, weather at that
time of year. What about grooming and crating? What about obedience, rally and
agility? Seating and electronic capabilities? Our vendors and food and
restrooms? An awful idea. Cynthia. vande001@xxxxxxxxx

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?
