OK! So who is all going to be at Nationals? Any way we can get up to date infor on our favorite entries, shy of being there?
Also, does this play into the the BIG shows, or are we talking about field and/or obedience?

Call me Curious!

P.S. We needed a new topic, eh, wot?

LOL, Nationals covers almost everything our hounds can do. So there's a dog show (bassets only). Usually there's about 350 bassets entered in that. Then there's obedience, agility, tracking, hunt tests, field trials, rally-o. Sometimes there's extras, like CGC testing or health clinics. And there's always lots of educational events.

Unfortunately, I can't go this year.

While they don't keep track of everyone there, the big winners will be posted on the BHCA website as the show goes along.

I have two dogs entered in the tracking test. Because there are a limited number of slots, I have to wait to see if their names are drawn for those slots. I'm also Obedience Trial co-chair, so I'll be going, one way or another.

I've only been once, but I *really* enjoyed myself. This year sounds especially good, with the CGC test, Rally, and a Performance Fair where folks can try out various activities with their bassets. There are many, many beautiful Bassets to admire and pet...Go if you can. It's too far for me to make this year with my hounds, and I generally don't enjoy dog activities unless they come along...

I have a number of friends going, and I had hoped to go, too. BUT we have an accreditation visit in our department at the end of October and the department chair told everyone, faculty and staff alike, that no one was to ask for any time off prior to the visit. It's important -- and we've never been busier! I'm going to follow Nationals results on my cell phone and the BHCA web site.

But next year, come h*ll or high water, I'm going to Gettysburg. I've already told the Chair I need time off next October!!!

So, is it held somewhere different each year? How do they decide on the location?

Billy, I have summers off, thank goodness! This is very temporary and very important, so I can't complain.

Addy, I believe area clubs volunteer to sponsor the Nationals, but I'm not 100% sure of this.
