Hi Ruth. I really have no idea other than when Brock took us through the new building before it was finished (two years ago) Nadine asked him about a c-course. He told her at the time they were not set up for it. Don't know if anything has changed since then.

It would be interesting to see if they would allow a c-course flock on the grounds. Their light B course sheep would not be fair for the c-course exhibitors.

I was there in April for the Aussie National. The main arena is very large, can handle all our venues except herding which is also on site, AND IT IS FREE.........THE FOOTING IS AS GOOD AS ANY SOD WE HAVE EVER HAD. And the judge can see bad feet. <G> The folks there could not be more accommodating. Plenty of hotels. The host hotel is only 10 minutes away, and has lots of history. (Holiday Inn at Six Flags for goggle search). Super motorhome parking within 100 yards of the arena from the farthest parking spot. With complete hookups. The only problem I can see is flying dogs in, and from both coasts it is at least a two day drive. It took us 24 hours driving time in a motorhome with 3 dogs from mid California. My first National was 1974 in Dallas. I have only missed 3 after that. My all time favorite places were: Perry, Houston, and Colorado -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of AGray40366@xxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 12:01 PM To: edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Norton AntiSpam][ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Purina Farms National I love Purina Farms even if they did move my favorite Lama, just because he spit on a touring exec from Purina Farms. He hated dogs and was a hoot every time there was a dog show there. They say he's at a ranch now, I would have taken him. Oh well. Purina Farms is a great central location for $0.02 worth.
