You can't compare the Canadian nationals to the GSDCA. We are a spread
membership with a very diverse membership. Few Canadians make it to the US
National either.
Evan is very right. There is no comparison between the nationals other than
GSD's are shown. There is only obedience and rally along with conformation
in Canada. Also a temperament test. There is no requirement for acres of
land, herding facilities and so on. And I am only guessing at this
time......but the last I posted on this issue over 2 years ago, approximately
80 plus%
of the membership resided in Ontario where the nationals are held. A few
times the show has gone west or east but it appears to work best for everyone
to
be held where it is held.
The GSDCA has a very active membership spread over every state. As pointed
out, many of these people cannot travel so it is great if the national comes
close enough they can make it every 4-6 years. If you cater only to those
who consistently enter then you in turn make it "their" show. Yes it is about
entries, it is a dog show. But how on earth do you keep the people involved
if it not sometimes about them?
I don't believe we have ever lost money in recent years on the national
entry/location, and it is not about making money....as long as we don't lose.
The heaviest member states are California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania
and Texas. To not a least make an effort to come close to where a strong
membership lives from time to time would be to exclude them. The Canadian
National is where the strong membership is.........and the entries just come,
from
where ever.
