Back in the 70's many all breeds had that many dogs. How many does Old Dominion get these days? They used to be between 3500 and 4500 for both the spring and fall shows. sheila Bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx wrote: In a message dated 2/15/2007 1:57:38 P.M.

Personally, I doubt the Barrie shows were ever that large.......... wonder if any of the list members from Ontario want to tell us about that............. I have shown dogs at the Barrie shows, when they were on the Molson grounds. Lucky if there were 1000 dogs there, counting every dog on the grounds.......! Peggy Shown there too Peggy many times, and at their new location in Orillia. The most I have ever known shown was around 1400, and that was back in the early 90's. So not sure where he was coming from on this one, other than perhaps he did not think anyone would know anything about over the border shows so he could appear to be an authority.
