I have said this at least three times today. No, the PandP does not say it cannot be outside. t merely says COVERED. Not climate controlled, not inside. Covered can be a Fairgrounds with a roof without sides. From page 114 of the PandP: Checklist For GSDCA National Site Needs Site Selection Sites will be selected 23 years in advance. A worksheet of questions and minimum specifications have been developed which are intended to help the committee. Sites considered will be examined after the worksheet information has been provided to the committee. MinimumCriteria: Show sites generally will be covered areas with reasonably priced hotels and motels, which are in close proximity to the show site, as well as the headquarters hotel. Adequate parking and exercise areas at the headquarters hotel and show site, with capacity to provide banquet facilities for 500 persons, meeting rooms, nonstop air schedules from most large cities, good highways, and moderate temperatures during September 15 November 15 are desired. The National Show site to must accommodate conformation, obedience, herding, tracking, agility, rally and temperament testing, Working Dog Sport and must be reasonably near appropriate air transportation, as well as to make available reasonably priced lodging and food.
