Hi Everyone,

First    A BIG CONGRATS to everyone involved with the wonderful New BEST IN 
SHOW AMERICAN AND CANADIAN SELECT  OSCAR!!!!  Also my WINNERS' DOG  at the 
CANADIAN NATIONAL and Can Select and then Jamie Walker's WINNER'S DOG  at 
the US  NATIONAL  Isn't it just great that so many of our top Specialty Dog 
are going Best at the All breed Shows.  A GS is currently #2 Herding and #15 
all breeds and she too is a Select from the 09 National.

To answer Evan's questions below:

Nancy's  note about the exciting action in 2013 has gotten me all
excited for  sure!


I love Nancy's passion, but I do wonder what it means?  IT MEANS
 Is the national going to be just a part of the World Union Show?  NO
THE PLAN IS TO FEATURE THE NATIONAL SPECIALTY SHOW FIRST

Will this be a two or three week event?  NO, MORE LIKE 11 DAYS
 Will there be multiple shows at the same  NO,
TENATIVE PLAN, (plese remember TENATIVE at this point).
CONFORMATION JUDGING BEGINNING ON WED THRU SAT
OBEDIENCE, RALLY, HERDING ETC. TO FOLLOW CONFORMATION'
(Herding, working venues AFTER rather then BEFORE conformation judging). 
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION ON SUNDAY
WORLD TEAMS BEGIN ARRIVING OVER THE WEEKEND (in time to participate/observe 
centennial celebration) .
WORLD TEAMS BEGIN PRATICE ON MONDAY
WORLD TRIALS BEGIN THAT WEEK.

Obvioulsy, everyone will not want or cannot plan on being in Lexington for 
10 to 11 days.
Therefore our goal is to schedule in such a way that many will be able to 
EXHIBIT and then participate and some willo at least observe the world teams 
praticing on the fields if they cannot stay for the trials. .  Hopefully, 
those members or exhibitors participating in working venues and herding will 
arrive on Sat to also see selects, gv, gvx  and be there for the Centennial 
on Sunday and perhaps stay until Monday to see some of the teams in action. 
This is all subject to change as plans materialize.  The National Specialty 
is NOT and WILL NOT be taking a back seat to the World Trials
time, and we have to elect what to attend?  Who pays for it, and who  gets
the income?

THE GSDCA HAS ALWAYS PAID FOR IT'S NATIONAL SPECIALTY AND ALWAYS RECEIVES 
THE INCOME.  WE NORMALLY MAKE A NICE PROFIT ON THE NATIONAL.  THERE IS NO 
REASON TO THINK THIS VERY SPECIAL NATIONAL WILL NOT ALSO PRODUCE INCOME. I 
AM NOT WELL VERSED ON WORLD TRIALS.  IT HAS BEEN IN THE MINUTES FOR A LONG 
TIME THAT THE GSDCA WOULD START SETTING MONEY ASIDE EACH YEAR TO HELP 
SUPPORT INITIAL MONIES FOR THE WORLD TRIALS.  I DO NOT KNOW THE INCOME 
NORMALLY PRODUCED BY THE WORLD TRIALS.

I know the GSDCA puts on a National, and we try like crazy to make  a
profit as well.  DON'T FORGET WE ALSO HAVE A FUND RAISING CHAIR WHO IS VERY 
GOOD AT BRINGING IN THE DONATIONS.  What is the duty of the GSDCA to the 
World Trials,and who  will
be in charge? DAVID LANDAU, TISH WALKER AND THE WDA COMMITTEE. I love what 
our new national chairman is doing with our
National, will he be involved in 2013?  ABSOLUTELY, Bill needs to be part of 
it, and is  he
able to dedicate that much time? BILL IS AN INTRICATE PART OF THE PLANNING 
AND IS ON THE CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE.  FORTUNATELY BILL IS RETIRED, IS VERY 
EXPERIENCED AS A FORMER AKC REP AND A FORMER BREED CLUB SHOW CHAIR, PLUS 
BILL IS A GENTLEMAN, A REAL PROFESSIONAL  AND PLEASURE TO WORK WITH.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I am also cautious of the liability.  WE 
HAVE LIABILITY COVERAGE EACH YEAR AND THIS WILL NOT BE AN EXCEPTION.
There are times when being an attorney makes life harder.  I don't have the
answers, just questions to invite answers.  We have four years to figure it
out.
I AM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED BY THE RESPONSES I HAVE RECEIVED, WE HAVE A LIST OF 
NAMES FOR THOSE EXCITED TO BECOME INVOLVED.  WE HAVE OUR FIRST DONOR, THEY 
WILL PAY FOR BRINGING IN A HANDLER WITH HIS DOG MILITARY DOG.

Thanks for the questions Evan, keep them coming.  We hope everyone will send 
their  suggestions, concerns, and questions any time.

Everyone have a great week.

Nancy
