If I had to go there year after year :0) I don't think it would happen. :0) WE need to change the way we do things and have 3 Regional shows every year so that really good dogs in each region are recognized. As it is now only those dogs that are owned by folks willing and able to drop 5,000.00 to 10,000. on a show week are seen. It is no longer about the quality of the dogs but the ability of the owner to foot the bill.

No matter what the solution, some one is going to get screwed with expensive cost, and if the show is centralized every year, the same East a and West Coast people get screwed every year. Maybe the solution is to promote the regionals, and then the "National" is by invitation from those winners. Morgan Lewis, RPh.
