That has come up at the Board meetings once or twice Sally and we are really 
trying to avoid that.    
Too many people love the herding AND the Conformation.   ( me ) and ideally and 
for the sake of
the National itself and the Exhibitors in both ...... it should all be 
capsulated together.   
I believe Utah is one of the sites where it will be all on one site much like 
Perry for that.   Herding
will be right there.....Herding is one of the reasons it would be great to find 
a three or four permanent sites............and well worth the effort if it 
happens.
ANYONE that is at the National for any reason...... to watch, exhibit, etc.   
should take the time to 
watch  Herding.   It is the most beautiful / natural ways to watch your dog 
WORK physically and 
mentally and watch it's natural decision making.    Once you watch herding you 
will never be 
impressed with JUST a good front or rear.......you will see the entire athletic 
physical body come 
into play ......the whole dog in action!    It is a real LOSS that there is no 
herding near the site
this year.
Herding is  the very beginning of why we have this Breed and why it's instincts 
make it so versatile 
for being a family pet, Search and Rescue,  protection dog, etc.   Everyone 
should watch the 
GSD Herding.   You are missing what the Breed really is if you never get a 
chance.    
We should NEVER even consider Herding to not be a  part of our National.    It 
is actually a big 
reason the Breed and some of the people involved in our Breed are remaining 
active now.
This Breed is aware of where you are all the time, even if you are in the house 
and it is in the
yard.......just one of the basic instincts that make it a great herding dog AND 
family pet.   
It's awareness of property lines, and what is going on and where you are all he 
time make it 
a great protector.   Try to go to a Herding Trial where there are GSD some 
day....you won't
be sorry.   Maybe it will be at one of the Nationals.   <G>

When your dog is a top Show Dog........and a great Herding Dog....there is no 
feeling like it.

  So how big is the herding trial - would it be feasible to have a separate 
national herding trail?  That way the whole national site would not be made as 
difficult to find.  Take some of the best herding sites and rotate them around 
  Just asking - I have no knowledge of herding
