Excellent Post John, it reflects the sediments of many of the silent majority.
Everyone has the option to only stay for the days that are most important to
them.
Yes it would be nice to have the National shorter but when I go I like to see
the herding instict test, temperament testing, and yes a quick visit to watch a
bit of obedience. I also don' t want to miss any of the conformation
classes...in order for all of us to visit all of the competitions (some of
which are off site) we do need to hold some activities on days other than the
conformation days. JMHO.. Joan M Tuthill, Connecticut..

Congratulations on your Board election. With regard to your comment above, I
would think that the only people who say this ( 3days or 4 days) are probably
only conformation people who could care less about recognizing the rest of
the GSDCA events that we, theoretically, support. For the majority of the
conformation people who come to the show, the Nationals is a 4.5 day event.
Late
Tuesday thru Saturday. If we get big entries the days will be totally
exhausting. They are bad enough now. With the decline in handlers, having two
rings
going together will certainly reduce the entry and/or result in dogs being
shown by less than competent handlers with the resultant (automatic!)
accusations
that the judges only put up the "name" handlers. So my question to you is, if
20 people came up to you and complained that the show was too long, does
their "squeaky wheel" complaints override the other 500 to 1000 people who
didn't
complain?
I sincerely hope that your term as a Director is one that reflects the
majority of our members, not just the vocal squeaky wheels.
