OH PLEASE Beaumont is not west. Denver is pushing it. Lets face it we all complain if we can not at least occasionally get to one without driving 3, 14 hour days... I hate the fact that it will be in the same 3 day drive place. I am absolutely sure this is a great facility but I doubt I will make it all years. Maybe none depending on my circumstances. It will be good the club can save the money but I think it is not good we are going away from what the club member wanted. Deb In a message dated 7/28/2012 6:26:01 P.M.

I could only drive to two of the six in less than two days and I live in the Midwest. The east coast people don't complain and they have had to drive days to most of the recent nationals. Our board has tried to do what's best for the GSDCA and it has been known for a while that we need to save money and save it they will by going to St Louis. After Utah, I will never fly a dog again and am staying home from Denver, too far to drive, but you don't hear me or most of the others that aren't going complaining. Many of the biggest complainers don't go to Nationals no matter where they are and more don't show at Nationals either.

It seems that if it was voted on then it is wrong to do what they just did without membership feedback. More fuel for questions!
