One thing I can tell you is after you have helped with a national in your backyard and found out how much work it is for the local folks then you are not so excited about hosting it every year. When you get to become one of the Gophers, Go for this and go for that, you don't get to enjoy the national much. I bet that if you put the national in KC for 3 years in a row by the end of the 3rd year the locals would be begging it to be some place else so that they could go enjoy the show :0) the middle people, the flat landers, say the coasts are way too far to drive yet they expect the coasters to drive to the middle land. Why is that ???? WEST MIDDLE EAST MIDDLE WEST. That is what we voted on and that is what it should stay until we take another vote.

I was at the Purina tour last Sat and this place has it all. Even the GSDCA board that was looking for reasons not to like it, had to. Purina is bending over backwards to give us EVERYTHING we could possible want in a show site. It sure would be great to show in a facility that was designed for Showing Dogs instead of horses for a change.
