Pat and I will attend nationals until we are not able. Aside from the extra
time and money commitment traveling long distances, my heart longs for a
national on grass. Purina, to me, is like a glorified all breed show. Showing
our beautiful animals on anything other than grass is hard on my eyes. Maybe
it's just me

Evan, you wrote the following about not having two weeks to go to the National?
Not getting the two weeks unless you were going to walk.
When I was active in showing and living in Minnesota, I drove to the Atlanta,
Houston, and Burbank Nationals. All were a two day drive, one way. I endorsed
the concept of rotating from west to central to east. That means you probably
had one show that was local or a day away, a show 2 days drive away, and a show
that was 4 days drive you might skip or fly to. The people on the coasts would
have it worse with that third year, but those in the central US would be within
a 2 day drive for all locations.
As an aside, take a look at where the Atlanta and Burbank shows were held, with
Atlanta being worse as the building didn't have walls and it rained and it was
muddy. I don't know how we were able to afford the Astrodome and to me, that
was excessive. The show site should have a cap on it as a percentage of
revenue.
I had decided when the show was in St. Louis, I would attend, support the
board, but never show at a National again. You can't fly a dog into St. Louis,
and it is too far for me to drive when I can't take off two weeks from work.
