We have always had conformation and obedience along with the temperament test.
We may be adding agility in the future.....
On the smaller scale while I was in Tx, we split conformation and obedience and
had them at different times so more attention could be devoted to the
individual events. Realize that may not work at national levels because there
are many who compete in several different events.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Two Nationals
Is the number one performance interest of the membership conformation? And by
asking this question I am NOT disrespecting or ignoring the other aspects of
our sport i.e. Herding, obedience, protection, rat hunting etc.....Would it be
possible to hold two Nationals? One strictly for conformation and maybe
obedience, and one National for all the other activities? This would allow us
to consider more sites because we would no longer be looking for the very few
sites that serve all purposes but not servicing them equally! St Louis seems to
work well for the performance working events, but poorly for conformation (
poorly for our breed at least) ... how Does Canada handle this? What is offered
at their National? The two National plan would perhaps place a hardship on
folks who show in conformation and the other events, but how many do it? The
club needs to toss around ideas to make our National better and more inclusive!
I don't believe this is the case today ( this was NOT a rant) Ed Hill
