You also have a couple of great herding facilities within an hour drive in
the San Francisco Bay Area.

I am up for LA, Phoenix or Portland. I have boycotted the last two years
because with dogs has gotten almost impossible. I think we should look for
locations with more than one option in term of airports. Norcal and LA
would be good because you have multiple airports within a couple hours.
I booked my flights for this years national only to find, I couldn't get a
direct flight. (not good when flying with dogs). I had to add an extra day
at the front end of my trip and two extra days at the back end because there
weren't enough flights that could accept a 500 crate. I reserved spots for
two 500s and got a call 5 days later tell me one of the connecting flights
at the end of my trip can only take one 500 so now I can only take one dog.
In Northern California within 2 hrs you have Sacramento, San Jose, San
Francisco and Oakland Airports. All large enough to fly dogs into so you
have options.

I agree with that sentiment!! This last weekend, I was at the GSDC of
Greater Eugene shows held in the gorgeous park next to the Fairgrounds.
Stayed in the Comfort Inn Suites (was the host hotel for the 2004 National).
It is still a great hotel and there is now a fabulous new restaurant located
just between the Comfort Inn and the Holiday Inn Express called the Cascade
Bar and Grill. We took the judges there for the after show meal and everyone
raved about the food (especially the salmon)!
I know for a fact that the City of Albany and the Linn County Fairgrounds
would LOVE to have us back!

From what I have "heard" a location in Arizona has not been found and "they"
say California is too expensive and no one from the West Coast has come
forth with any locations for the show chair to check out. Don't know if this
is all true.....Just what I have been told.
Personally, I would be very happy to go back to the Oregon location where we
previously have had a National. Very nice location and two good hotels right
across the parking lot.
Maybe this will start some discussion!!!

Everyone seems to want that instant gratification of facebook............and
thank heavens the admin don't permit us sharing everything of our day
including what one had for lunch. Funny....someone on a talk show just said
we live in the "post everything" world now.........no thanks.
I know everyone still is lurking out there and waiting to jump in on a good
topic.
Remember the list is us and we are it...........its what you make it.
I don't want to jump in that white issue problem again nor the food war
(although I read an interesting article about it the other day, not
necessarily positive, sorry) but am anxious to hear what the show chair has
come up with (July board meeting coming up) for a west coast national in
2017. suppose to be looking in AZ and Calif from what I heard of the last
board meeting.
On a personal note, I must day I think the dogs are truly loving days in the
high 70's, nights in the low 60's instead of months of 90-100 degree
weather. There is a trade off for those winters..........ahhhhhh! LOL
