Not me.

Until they actually do move it to the center of the country, I am out. Actually, they did move it further west from the east coast. Kentucky is west of the Atlantic Ocean??

Yes, I will be there - and I am already counting down the days. Last year was my first time and it was absolutely FABULOUS!!!
But, it is an awfully LONG drive.....

Soooo...to all of you who are going to Nationals.....

Are you going to watch, or are you going because your lovely (and I do mean [I]lovely[I]) boxers are entered? And if you have boxers entered, which ones are entered? Names would be very helpful here...

I have to know, that way I can watch for updates on you all and see how everyone does!!!

Autumn

PS Yes, for now I must live vicariously through the rest of you...but someday I will be there too, just you wait and see!!!

I want to be there but if I go it will be alone. I don't have the money to fly and rent a car. But I do not want to drive that distance alone.

I would be going soley to watch and of course, to shop for my babies. I also would like to see Woody's littermates compete. I was wondering if Woody's dad would be competing??

I have met a few breeders that will be there and it would be nice to say Hello. There are other persons' of interest that I would like to finally meet after conversing via email and reading their articles in Boxer Ring.

I would love to see some of the English and European Boxers.

It is great to see Boxers compete with natural ears.

And I was completely fascinated with watching agility.

If I go, and it is a big if I would want to be there for the agility too.

Not this year. This year I'll be taking his daughter instead.

Well, we are going to compete in the agility. That is a great experience. I never see another boxer in any of the agility trials that we go to - so to be at a trial where there are just boxers - it is quite incredible. Agility is off-site - so, if you go definately make a plan to come and watch.
Other than that I am just going to watch.......

How far off-site? Is it walking distance? What days are you competing in agility? Is it only on Monday?

Okay, found my answers to agility on the site.

?? Am I allowed to go to the seminar on degenerative myelopathy or to the ABC auction if I am not there as a competitor?
