At this time, I am VERY disappointed to have to say that our AKC 2008  
June Conformation Show scheduled for on Saturday June 14, the day  
before the GSDCA Midwest Futurity/Maturity, will need to be cancelled  
due to not getting AKC approval for the showsite in Big Bend, WI.
An alternate show site has not been able to be secured.

According to the AKC, there was a 200-mile show conflict with Grand  
Traverse (MI) Kennel Club that could not be resolved despite the best  
of efforts from many, many people.  Yes, it is over 400 driving miles  
between showsites, but the AKC must still use a string and a pushpin  
on a map to determine 200 "air" miles, not actual driving distances  
per Mapquest, etc.  Even Dr. Carmen Battaglia stepped in to try &  
reason with the AKC on this point for us, but to no avail.  Rules are  
rules we were told.

Please contact me if you have any questions -
