And...the enthusiasm of the people who are so eagerly planning this event really does show a great desire to be a single unit here in the states...at least for one event. Showing, Picnicing, getting together with old friends and possibly having a chance to be in the ring with them again. It is an indication that this whole thing isn't just about breeding; it is about friendships and fun and unity, and the pleasure of just spending time together with our dogs. I hope that it does happen, it would be just lovely to see. Myra
