All,
Here's part of a note I posted to a different list regarding having
performance events the days before conformation, with a little elaboration:
Herding is already the weekend before and usually at a different site. It
does make some sense to have everything on site and all performance on the
same days followed by all conformation. We would have to manage conflicts
for people who do multiple performance events (which we already have to do),
but we would eliminate conflicts between people who do performance plus
conformation. A schedule could look something like this: Herding
Sat-Sun-Mon Agility Sun-Mon-Tue, Obed Mon, Rally Tue, conformation Wed-Sat.
Come for all or as much as you like. Herding - outdoors, the rest -
indoors.
Conformation - definitely indoors!! I don't want to be rained on, snowed
on, sunburnt; I don't want to sit on cold metal bleachers and I don't want
to catch the flu every Fall from being out in the cold and wind for a week.
But maybe that's just me. ;-)
I think the bigger issues are footing for the conformation dogs and
handlers, and seating for the spectators. Yes, this facility was built for
dog shows, but not a dog show like ours. I haven't seen it, but those
issues do seem solvable. I would just ask that once we have perfected this
site, we return to it every time we cycle to "central" so our flow would be
East - Purina - West - Purina - East - Purina, etc. with West truly being
close for the people who live there.
Thanks,
Kim
