Hi everyone! Congratulations to all of you who qualified at Nationals. I'm sorry I couldn't go. Next year I am flying to Texas wo/dog. Exactly where in Texas are they being held? Thanks and Molly says Hi! Belinda.

I believe in Plano, near the Dallas/FW area. I have the info on the site but it's at home.

Looks like a very compressed schedule, I'm going to have to make some difficult choices about which events to enter if I attend.

Wow! My parents live in Allen - right next to Plano. When is this event? I think you are talking about next year, right?

Could be a fantastic road trip for me and the Bun-i-nator.

OR - is this another one of those events that requires ovaries? Belle has none.

Nationals is the Basset Hound Club of America's annual national dog show. It includes conformation, obedience, rally, agility, tracking, field and hunt events. (Hope I haven't missed anything!) Bassets must be intact for conformation and field events. They can be altered for any of the rest, including hunt tests.

Dates are Sept. 30-Oct. 5. BHC of Fort Worth will have a speciality with obedience and rally Sept. 29.
