Don't feel bad Cheryl our "west coast" national (funny didn't realize utah was on a coastline) is still a 15 hour drive for us. We haven't had a National in CA since 1999...if you want to go where the members are (collective you) then you MUST recognize the large role CA plays in the GSDCA membership tally. It seems east coast is fine, but as it comes to West, it is migrated by the club more towards the middle rather than the true west. Let's rotate it to all nine Fut regions, if the club is really interested in promoting the breed to somewhere other than the same three areas over and over. But lately promoting the breed doesn't seem to be a priority to some. Kathy *http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com*<http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com> PUP-DATED: JULY 20, 2010 *Home of: CH.
