But not here. We just had two specialties on a weekend when we used to have huge entries, with the shows in the same place, and then adjourn to an allbreed that also drew majors (where Gail showed Sel. Ch. Conan one year, and Jimmy showed Sel Ch. Rosie)... in heat that was worse than you can imagine. Tish and many others can back me up on that.....there'd be heaps of orange quarters near the gate, for the handlers to grab on their way by...........nobody does that anymore around here, either........... and we have specialties here in December.........sometimes it's so cold we might as well be in Minnesota....... and there are other specialties within easy driving distance--all year long. Doesn't matter..........specialty entries are down and the allbreeds can draw big majors......why is that? It has nothing at all to do with the time of year, not around here, sorry.
