BCOA National?

[Quercus]

We *might go….I don't know...Ethan is going to be starting first grade, and I haven't figured out a way to make everything work...plus the dreaded expense ;)

[agilebasenji]

I'll be there.

[Kebasmom]

My family will be there!

[lvoss]

My mom is hoping to go. I would love to go but don't know how it would work at this time.

It will be nice to see some people there. If you're mom goes Lisa, I will bring Sugar so she can see her.

Does anyone know if a local club is going to have a specialty right before the national this year like the Hoosier specialty last year?

[pacificNWbasenji]

There isn't anything on the BCOA site regarding a specialty at this years national. I think it was just coincidence/good planning that the national was held in KY last year (as they rotate the nationals location annualy by region) so that it would cluster with the Hoosier specialty which is held in KY at that time of year annually.

It wouldn't have to necessarily be at the same location, even if they had a supported entry at another show nearby that could pull majors. I only saw the 2009 calendar on the BCOA site. But I just looked in the Bulletin Board and it didn't have one listed. Our club doesn't normally have a specialty around that time of year, but we're having one in 2011 to coincide with national in WI.

I don't think there is a show giving club in that area this year.

Bump…I finally decided that I'm going to the National this year. Curious who else I might see this year.

Wish I could go…but will not be able to attend..... work first...

[nomrbddgs]

Unfortunately that is the case with me also. Everything is so time consuming and I really wanted to go, but this year is out for me. Maybe next year!!

[Terry]

The Illusion kids will be there! (well, 4 of them anyway) Arriving Sept. 2, in the RV.

Not this yr, but we will next yr.

[pacificNWbasenji]

Can't wait! It will be my first National, very excited to meet all the friends my dogs have acquired for me :)

[Kebasmom]

Has anyone out there tried to do an on line entry for the Elements event at this year's Nationals? I can't figure out how to do it.

I didn't see the online payment option either. I'm assuming you just have to mail it in or do a same day entry.

We won't be going this year :( But we are planning on Wisconsin in 2011 :)

2011 should be fun…at least that's what the plan is. :D It's amazing how early you have to start getting it organized.

I'm going to National this year with Ozzy's breeder, Jean Martin (actually she was one of my roomies at last year's National too). And we'll be joining up with the Eldorado, Kaleonahe, and SkyHi crowd. Should be quite the road trip - Maine to NY, NY to CO.

Both Ozzy & Liyah are going - Liyah just as a traveling dog since she is now finished, but I'll be showing Ozzy.

I won't be going to the 2011 National - I'll be going to France for 2 - 3 weeks instead :D.
