I thought everyone might be interested in a report from Show Dog Reporter =
Online Magazine( Ric Routhlege) The GSDCA National got attention on thi= s

German Shepherd National
Hotels welcome show dogs, revenues
FARMINGTON, UT. - Davis hotel owners have rolled out the plastic mat this =
week for canines competing in the German Shepherd Dog Club of America 2010=
National Specialty Show at the Legacy Events Center in Farmington.
And there appears to be a scent of gold in offering each Rover a place to =
put his paws up after a long, hard day of tail-wagging.
To accommodate the 500 to 600 competing German shepherds, as well as their=
"best friend" handlers, about 1,400 hotel-room stays will be generated, said
Barbara Riddle, Davis Area Convention &Visitor's Bureau CEO and =
president.
That gives the weeklong event an overall economic impact of $318,380 to the
county, she said.
"What really drives room nights is the number of days," Riddle said,
explaining the value of the county's hosting the Oct. 12-16 event and the =
willingness of many local hoteliers to allow dogs in their rooms.
One of those local hoteliers collaring the dog business is the TownePlace =
Suites.
"We're an extended-stay hotel. We never turn away people's family, whether=
they be human or animal," said Gabe Garn, general manager for the Layton =
hotel.
The owners of those German shepherds competing in the contest take
tremendous care of their well-trained animals, he said.
"We have many of them staying with us. We haven't had a single issue with =
them."
But not every hotel puts a bone out for pets.
"Some hotels say, 'Our brand doesn't do dogs,' " Riddle said.
But then there are the hoteliers who love dogs and, because the American
Kennel Club regulations provide information on overnight accommodations fo=
r
them, are willing to take them in.
AKC regulations include placing plastic sheeting -- made available by the =
hotel at check-in -- under every dog crate in the rooms; requiring that dogs
be crated when the owner is out of the room; dogs being kept on leash= es
when in the hotel, lobby or hotel grounds; and owners picking up after the=
ir
pets at all times.
No dog may be bathed in the hotel, and no more than two dogs are allowed per
room.
