The Regional Specailties and the judges have now been officaily AKC approved.
I am just thrilled on how much interest this show has generated throughout the country. I have had already several requests about making donations towards the show which is just wonderful. But, I will wait until well after Nationals so this show does not interfere.
One thing that I do need, is if you are planning to donate some dinero or a gift of some sort, I need to know right now. The info needs to be turn into the Kennel Clubs for their premiums ASAP. The premiums will include your name and your Kennel name. Again, I do not need donations right now, only a word of commitment to do so in the future.
There will be lots of prizes for all sorts of winners, to trophies, to plaques, badger fur collar, t-shirts,etc..etc..
Once again, thank you guys for your support for me, your fellow fanciers, judges, and the clubs. Just PM me, make a post, or my email is Email

If I have some left over, I will try to get another Mastino collar to be awared to a class dog, which would be BOW.
Here are some Hotels info that are near the show site in Atlanta, they were also used in previous premiums for the hosting clubs and they allow dogs as well. The show site is located 10-15 mintues from the Atlanta airport, so one can also chose a hotel around the airport. It seems that the Red Roof South is the nearest to the site and not very costly, so I know a few people who are staying there.

Thanks to everyone, Its great to see so many people excited about this show!!!!
Good news Carlos will do my best to attend even though Tilly is to small to enter lol Two pale figures ache in silence, timeless in the quiet ground... \\\"
If you fly with the dog, you can cheak in the dog as one of your baggage and it usually cost $100.
The furthest I ever flew, was to New Jersey with AA, and it only cost me $100 there and $100 back.....
Great info Carlos, but like everything else it has gone up to $150 on AA. I just came back from CA about two weeks ago American airways doesn't do it anymore I think it is only Continental, AA, delta, and some other airline good luck to all and cant wait to see everyone.
