Hi All; I have gone to the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac Shows, but this year I can not go. The shows are held on the grounds of the Holiday Inn in Fredrick, Maryland. There are usually 3 rings for the lower classes and then on Friday for the upper classes and bred one big ring. They get a lot of vendors, everyone sets up there chairs around the ring, great raffel and great time, no fancy anything and entries even come from outside the US. I always have a great time and they are not called loveable Labs for nothing.We expect to have an entry close to 200 at my Jersey Skylands Lab Club this year and we have our Speciality in conjunction with my AB Club in a separate area and tent and it is a win win for both Clubs.
