Is it astro turf with cement under? Because this would be bad. Astro
turf is usually 2 inches thick over cement. No more better than all
breed shows. All breed we may be in the ring a hour. Now, you talking
about on astro turf all day running faster and longer? This would be a
concern for dogs and handlers. Running on dirt last year was horrible.
