With all the threads about the hunt lately I have the desire to come out for the Nationals next month. Sadly I will have no bassets with me, but I bet I'll find a couple there.

I assume that spectators are allowed.

I will probably only have 2 days there - do you have any recommendations as to which days are the best?

Spectators are welcome! It depends what you like...if you like conformation, then Friday. You could also catch agility on Friday morning. If you stay over Saturday, you could watch tracking tests, which are my favorite events to work and watch. So, Oct. 12-13 gets my recommendation, for variety.

Here's the schedule, if you don't already have it.

I agree with Betsy. Agility is probably the best entertainment at Nationals. And the shopping of course! Make your reservations!! And have fun!! Belinda.

I'm all set! I couldn't get away for the 4th - but I will be there for the next weekend. I am so excited about it - I only wish I could bring my hounds with me.

Hope to see some of you there.

Aruuuu

I'm flying down on Wed., the tenth. Edith and Eloise will be riding down with friends the weekend before. Eloise is showing in Futurity on Tuesday, then in, I think, Bred By on Thurs. I'm showing Edith in Open on Thursday, my first time in the ring at Nationals. Can't wait for the showing, the socializing, the lack of sleep, the frustration, the nerves jangling. I'm so excited to go!
