Unfortunately, entries don't close until March 30. Our local labrador Club - Not PC - so this is a specialty and not the national, as an entry of over 500 Labradors every year. I am thinking last year was lmost 1000 but don't hold me to that. The Labrador National doesn't have that arge of an entry. Why so many at a specialty show? The club members have worked very hard to uild up their reputation of having one heck of a show! Here is the link to heir website: http://lrcp.com/ Just look at the fun / social things they have planned. They start on Monday, nd finish up on Friday. Something going on each night, so people can relax and ave some fun. They bring in judges from all over the world. Breeders, owners nd handlers come from all over to attend. The show is the same week,a nd the ame place every year. No rotating show sites throughout the U.S., yet they ome. They have seminars, health clinics, vendors, international party, etc. This ear, they are adding a fun match for puppies. Just some thoughts on how to build up the National.
