Evan you're talking about one person. How many breeders-exhibitors didn't go to Oregon, because of the accessibility. Bet it was a lot more than one.

What a great example of the future of our breed. This is someone who decided to get back into it because the National was local and available, and now wants to work for the breed. We need to allow those who cannot or will not travel 2,000 miles for a dog show a chance to see our national. For that reason alone it should be rotated as it has been. Remember our P&P Manual requires a rotation. If all we wanted to do was make more and more money for the club, we should hold our National in the middle of the country every year. That would ignore many of our members, and that would not be a valid action for out club. We should never forget we are a club, and not a business. We should never ignore the members who, while in a remote location are also important to the future of our breed. We should never forget the young folks who will carry on when we are gone. And we should never forget to brush our teeth.
