That hasn't been the case............and quite frankly what good is St Louis right smack dab in the middle if you can't get in and out with #500 crates ? It's no better than trying to get in and out of the furthest corners of the US as far as i am concerned. I would rather fly in and out of major hubs if we are looking to make it easier for the exhibitors and dogs. Coming from Florida i would rather fly to LA every year with dogs than St Louis..............(just an example).................
