Hi All, I'm getting super excited about attending my very first National! Meeting you folks here on this list. Seeing the best of the best dogs in the world gait around that big ring. Anyhow, I was hoping that there'd be more National talk on this and the other GSD lists... So, to generate some National conversation, I'd like to ask a question of both you Oldies and Newbies alike... WHAT WAS YOUR BEST or MOST MEMORABLE NATIONAL? There's no restriction on the reasons why it was your best National. It could be the first time you showed a dog at the National. The first time your dog won. The first time you saw a flying trot that took your breath away. The first time you saw one of the Greats, like Lance or Quick. Even the first time you met your future spouse or lover. Anything. Just so long it's POSITIVE. Thanks in advance for sharing your stories. Oh, one last thing, please post to the list so that others can enjoy your National tales. See you at the Big Show.
