So is the Can. national getting bigger or smaller each year? How much of their entry is from the USA. ? do they offer herding agility and all forms of obedience?

From everything I have heard, you guys put on one H3LL of a good show. Is some of the reason for it being so good is that it can handle all venues and is in the same place every year, so no surprises? Is it always the same time?
