Albany was one of the better National sites I've seen.....for just about
everything. I don't know about Obedience,
but the herding people absolutely raved about that venue and it would draw a
lot of Herding people again.
The arena was perfection. The great Hotels were literally just about across
the Street. Beautiful grassy grounds
everywhere......
The only thing that was an issue for the East was they did have to fly into
Seattle......as Portland was not that
simple coming into from the East. Seattle is a main hub for one of the best
airlines for shipping dogs.....but I
don't know how far East Alaskan Airlines flights.....but I just quickly checked
and Alaskan has one direct flight to:
Houston, Tx.....Chicago...Atlanta....Phillie....Minn./St. Paul.. I did not
check the size of the aircraft....as this was
just a quick check.

Michelle -
Lots of national clubs use Albany because it is so user friendly.
If the GSDCA said that Albany no longer does nationals it is because someone
does not want to go there regardless of expenses.
No problem - the Aussies had a great time as did all others who hold their
shows there.
Headed for the Briard National's education program tonight. Yes, another
National in Portland, Oregon.
But in order to hear the information someone has to be willing to listen. The
GSDCA if convinced that they are right to stay in St Louis and membership be
damned. So the damned members are quitting. Keep it up and you can hold the
show in someone's backyard and have room to spare.

My herding instructor was just at the Aussie National... said everything was
AWESOME... and she went for herding... cows, sheep, ducks... etc.
Wow a drive in under a day.... wouldn't the Midwest people be jealous... but I
think we could get a Unicorn parade with FB BBQing all meals (for those in
doubt that man CAN BBQ... if I wasn't allergic to marriage I would marry him
for just and they still wouldn't move the show back west of Purina....
Wishful thinking Kay... I am sure there is something wrong with a contract or
the wind blows the wrong way or whatever....
I am officially on TEAM FB....

What was posted was that the Albany site is no longer available. Obviously
that is not true if the Aussie National was just there as I understand they
also have obedience, rally, agility and herding. If this is true then it
would be great if the GSD clubs and people who live in the area would look
into it and make a report to the Board.
I loved the National in Albany and would be thrilled to return!!
