Rapidly???? :-) 2.) The GSDCA is going to breach it's contracts re: Lexington, KY Nationals in 2011 & 2013 (Centennial) and the Denver National in 2012. 3.) Ken Downing has arranged for a new Centennial National site for 2013 in his home state of Kansas....near no major airport hub. 4.) The GSDCA National Site Chairperson has been relieved of his/her duties. Probably none of this is true, but, it is what I think I heard. Reminds me of that whispering game we used to play in grade school. 2.) - The original idea was to go to Lexington in 2011 as a warm up for the big world show and centennial in 2013. Lexington is 10 times better than the Perry site - a beautiful new arena, new stalls - tons of pasture area for herding. The board voted to cancel Lexington in 2011 and go to Topeka which is cheaper. Your dogs will now be running on astroturf. They did not as yet cancel Colorado in 2012 but that was discussed. The concern of snow was brought up (but the 2012 date is one week earlier than the 2007 date) - and concerns about agility being outdoors. There is ample room at the Colorado site for agility indoors, mats need to be rented. There is no contract for Lexington in 2013 since the world show was a question mark. 3.) - Kansas City airport is a little over 1 hour away from Topeka - more of a regional airport now then it use to be.
