I agree with Diane, I think it is wise to pick one good location east, central
and west, that we have been at that is cost effective and stick with it. Or
one central location and no it probably won't be right smack in the center
because of airports etc but close to it. This would makes everyone's job a lot
easier, then traveling looking for a new spot each year. I also enjoy watching
other venues when I can tear myself away from the conformation ring and
socializing : ) I enjoyed when they had it in kentucky walking down to where
they were herding, or watching the PT testing. Nothing more beautiful then
watching gorgeous dogs doing their thing. I will stroll over and watch
agilitly etc. Finding a suitable place where you can have everything at one
location and flying dogs in not a hassle, is hard to come by I am sure.
I enjoyed the location at Topeka, rolling out of bed and walking a few feet to
the show ring is the bomb!!! I think the hotel, arena and eating places were
good. I use to love Perry but I hear its more expensive now that they built a
bigger one. Colorado is also a nice place, Kentucky of course another and of
course OH : ) . Some of these of course can not accomodate every venue. I
can't speak for the West because I usually can not attend, unless its Colorado
(but then I am told that is not west ; ) )
We will not be able to make everyone happy especially the people on extreme
west or east coasts who have the longest travel.

Altho it's been said that returning to places is borrrrr-ing. Well, maybe no
one
aid it with so many r's. ;-) I think returning to locations we've already been
akes more sense than trying to invent a wheel every year.
Returning to a location brings two big pluses, to my mind at least:
. You know what worked & can duplicate that
. You know what failed & can tweak it
If we didn't alienate the facility people on the first booking, they will be
appy to do business with us again. We'd be a 'known'. The facility would have
he same pluses we had... they'd know what worked with us & duplicate it and
hey'd know what failed & how to prevent it.
The returning membership would known where to eat... where to stay... based on
hat they liked or didn't like from their first visit. They'd know if parking
as going to be a problem, or if they needed to reserve a seat in order to see,
r if the stalls were further away than they'd like.
We'd be in a better position to create a closer-to-ideal set up for Obedience,
gility & Herding because it'd been done once already.
The money that's spent sending out research teams, when we have first hand
xperience in a number of locations, seems kind of silly.
didn't think KY was that gawdawful. I didn't think OH was that gawdawful
ither... and I was outside herding in both locations. Perry got better over the
ears as we learned what motels & restaurants to avoid... which was possible
ecause of experience.
cottsdale was nice.
The last National I was at was OH. I can't afford to enter herding the weekend
rior to the National & then wait around until the next Saturday to see breed.
The OH National had herding on site & in the same week as the National.)
know the opinion of one herder who might want to look at the specials is not
mportant as one who shows in specials & might want to look at herding, but I'm
urning in my 2 cents anyway.
