Those numbers for the Sheltie National (which is being held in St. Louis, ahem!) ...the numbers for specials are 98 dog specials, 57 bitch specials............... Again, I say, WOW! Those numbers even top the 800+ entry in conformation at the Collie National, which is next week in Oklahoma City! Long time since we had those kind of numbers with Shepherds. Sigh!
