Our nationals is always held at Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. (On the Hatboro, Devon, Morris and Essex weekend) This year, the Portuguese Water Dog National is in San Luis Obispo, CA on October 2-8, The total entry is 271 271 PORT WATERDOG 54-87- 41-30 40 FUTURITY 78 SWEEPSTAKES 37 VETERANS SWEEPSTAKES 14 VETERAN DOGS 29 VETERAN BITCHES 8 WORKING TITLED DOGS 8 WORKING TITLED BITCHES 14 STUD DOG 16 BROOD BITCH 5 BRACE You have said yourself the Vizsla National has more dogs there than we have shepherds. So the real question, why is a popular breed such as shepherds, being hammered in entries while the "not so popular breeds" like wheatens, waterdogs and vizlas numbers are strong for their nationals... and sadly, does anyone really care???

I have more vizslas to show than German shepherds. And actually the vizsla national entry is bigger than the shepherd nationals. 72-115 92 85 Greg Sent from my iPhone On Sep 25, 2010, at 6:22 PM, Gail BAUMAN <gailbauman1@xxxxxxx> wrote: > I remember back in the day....a friend of mine and I would take my first show dog to any shows we could make, and it was at least once a month if not twice - it was such a fun time - now things are so different!
