I like the idea of one site for the Nationals, centrally located year after
year.....but that is a selfish thought since it would be closest for me.
An unselfish idea - Why can't we just have 3 sites that we use on a rotating
schedule year after year. If for some reason one of the sites is a constant
failure, then we change that location and try a new site, but otherwise we only
use 3 sites. Perry GA and St Louis would make up the East and Central....not
sure about the West. This way everyone becomes familar with each of the sites,
which in the long run makes traveling that much easier.

I flew from Saint Louis home on Monday at 4:00 in the afternoon. It is a
great time to fly. The planes are not full. I had two large plans the problem
was if there weren't enough people they canceled the flights. My guess is that
the people who want to show dogs will be driving and the spectators will be
flying. With that in mind the nationals that are held in the colder climates
need to be early Oct and the nationals held in the southern warmer climates can
be held in Nov.
What was the average cost of flying a dog excess baggage? I was over weight
with the cameras and printers. They charged me 75.00 each way for being 20 lbs
over the limit.

Hi Terry;
We drove to St. Louis with three dogs caravaning with another van with two dogs
from
N. California.
Four days driving to get there.........three days of hard driving another route
to get home.
No National site is perfect......there will always be an issue we can pick on
if we are so
inclined and bad things happen to good people.......but it all starts with easy
to get to with
dogs to make a successful National. It's a huge undertaking......and everyone
wants it in
their back yard. The best that can be done is to make it easy access for
everyone with
dogs. We are all going to have to concede to that first, to keep the National
successful.
Then.......seriously consider helping to find sites near main hub airports for
direct flights
for the dog friendly airlines.

How many people drove to the national? I didn't attend this year but did go to
the NASS in Saint Louis. this past week. I talked to 3 groups of people that
drove from Oregon to the WDA show. They did it in 36 hours straight driving. It
was the only way the could get there with their dogs. I believe each group
traveled with at least 3 dogs. How many of you are willing to drive 40 hrs one
way to a national?

Ms. Helen...
Perry was a good site...but so was Albany. Stalls, and green grass
everywhere.
Any time we have stalls we will have dust from the shavings and the dirt. I
didn't notice the dust this year but I also don't have a sensitivity to dust
as many do.
That said...I am sensitive to those that do but where do we draw the line?
Do we make the National site the best for the many or the best for those
with dust allergies? Not being snide...but asking a serious question.
At this past Board meeting in St. Louis...I sat close to newly elected Board
member Bart Bartly. When the Springfield Ohio site was mentioned...he stated
it was...and this may be a paraphrase so I won't quote him...It was the best
site for a dog show he'd seen. Joan found this show site for us and after
looking at it...I was impressed. I went out on the Sunday I was leaving just
so I could say I'd seen it because I couldn't stay for the Monday tour.
If someone has the magic formula to make everyone happy...PLEASE...email it
to THIS Board member so I can become a hero.

PS...Our 1st National was the Phoenix show and we were in awe there were
that many GSD's, folks, and owners. It was 110 during the day and the sweat
evaporated offa ya before it could run down your nose. Good things and bad
things to be sure.
