Typically, only one day of the three days of Herding is an all breed trial. If the trials were held on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with Sunday being the all breed day, you would still draw the other breeds. However, that would mean that the herding would be at the same time as something else. It's probably a catch-22 situation because we do have so much going on during the national.

We have to remember that AKC has to approve the sites before they'll approve the trials. My only request is: does herding have to happen so far ahead timewise from the rest of the national events?
