Sandi, I have been informed that the host hotel is considered part of the show site. So, I have another idea. How about a message board posting lookers only. Two options come to mind: (1) Contact information plus a statement like, "looking for a male Oscar puppy 4-6 mo." (2) Cell phone information only on a color-coded post-it note. Let's say blue is for people looking for a puppy. Then breeders could write these down and contact the people at the show.

Dogs goto the National - for sale Zoa, I like your idea. There should be some way around the AKC rule that does not allow folks to exhibit (at their stall or where ever) their "for sale" animals. I find the National to be an excellent place to make contacts with people that you may wish to do business with. Many of us know who so and so is but have never met them. What better place than the National to meet people( I am looking forward to meeting Mike Cheeks!) and perhaps do business with folks (breedings, buy puppies, sell adult animals etc.)--yes I know the AKC finds this inappropriate. Is there anyway around this for the National? Horse folks do this all the time and have fun doing it.
