Problem is when the National is overwhelmingly in one region more than others, it means that only a few dogs from the "non driving" regions will be represented. we would love to have brought multiple dogs, but with the fees / restrictions with airlines it was impossible. At some point every region NW, SE, NE , SW, N. Central, S Central, need to have a shot to be withing driving distance. To continuously have it towards the center of the country or east, means that the entry is skewed by numbers and representations. Everyone gets a chance. That is the only fair and equitable way to do it. Kathy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
