Then you have the return trip which would be > another 156 dollars. Texas is twice that distance. Thats a total of 624 > dollars round trip. Exactly the same thng it would cost to fly to Texas > with one dog. The extra days six in all of traveling to the National by > car will end up costing you even more. Even if you split expenses with > someone. The actual cost of showing dogs has gone up by one third in the > last two years. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
