You might be right as I will not fly go everywhere by car-truck or SUV so did not think of that. :-) I am 7 hours from St Louis but East Coast-West Cost several more hours. It took me as long to drive from Benson, MN as it does to VT state. Taking a GSD the distance is not as hard as hauling a horse which I have done. :-) I like Jen would rather drive than fly my dogs as I can make it to VT or Benson MN in a day. The OK Fairgrounds is a great place for a show as I have been there several times for Horse Shows and owners and breeders come from East-West-South and North there with their horses each year to our Nationals.

Hard to fly in the car. Driving miles is about 2000 from Portland, OR. It is not much more than the "west coast" location of Ft Collins - 1200 or so.Ruth From: Theresa-GSD Stolz-Scenecrest Farm <scenecrest.geo@xxxxxxxxx> To: terrycochran97756@xxxxxxxxx; "showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2013 3:37 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: GSD Speciality on Private Property >St Louis Distance St Louis was always considered the Gateway to the West as I spent every summer there growing up.

You Are short central by 500 miles or a days driving. The last time I photographed a show there everyone was crawling in mud not a place I look forward to going back to.
