Absences and Dog Show

Okay, I'm back. Aside from being very busy--and getting on Facebook--I've been having a great deal of trouble with Google. I kept getting told my password was incorrect, even though I have it written down. I'll reset, and then when I try to sign in, I can't. At any rate, I'm here now.

I have gone ahead and entered Cassidy in the AKC/Eukanuba show. I wasn't going to, but this year it's not limited to invitational only. (Though he's eligible anyway.) We have a breeder-judge this year, but mostly because the show is moving to Florida, and I'm not going to Florida. So, we will be there this year after all. Should be a larger entry this year because it's being handled as a "regular" dog show. Regular classes, the works. It's to celebrate the AKC's 125th birthday. I could take Angus-the-Lab also . . . I'm considering it, actually. We'll see.

Don't forget, you have 2010 also, so two years left in Long Beach. The show doesn't move to FL until 2011. Good luck! We'll have to sit out this year, as I'm hoping, hoping to have some baby dogs to keep me home. :-)

Really? Oh, I didn't realize that. I think they said that dogs whose second year of eligibility is 2009 would be carried over to 2010 because this year it's not an invitational.

Glad you posted!

yep, initially I think word was out that it would go back to FL in 2010, but then they corrected it and it's really 2011. My family is in Orlando, so the move is OK for me, if I get to go again, I can work in a visit to the family. They are getting used to the idea that my visits to FL usually revolve around something dog-related!
