How many of you folks that frequent this board intend on coming? I know Big Dog is planning on coming down to try out some AKC? Anymore of you ARHA Little Packers and UKCers out there willing to give AKC a try? The judges these folks have lined up are some of the best in the SPO movement in my opinion, so I can gaurantee you'll get your money's worth and then some.

Be nice to see a few of you folks... I know a few of you are from around that area. It's a weekend trial so you guys don't have anything to complain about, "well they don't run the class on the day I can get off." Most folks are off on the weekends. Come out and enjoy yourselfs...

Fuzz, I know we don't count, but Ralph may be going Sunday. He's going to a UKC Qualifier on Saturday and if he gets a dog qualified, he'll sneak on over to Pliny to run bitches on Sunday. If he doesn't get one qualified Saturday he may head to Scotts, MI on Sunday. I have to stay home and work.

Bev I consider you folks stradlepoles... Got interests in all of them. Was more meaning people that haven't ran much in AKC. But I imagine Jon and Tony would love to see all that can come to attend. If Ralphy gets to come great, if not that's cool...

It's too far away. If you were within a 100 miles i'd be there. We don't have near enough of that around here. If so i'd definitly be there.
Thanks for the invite. For those of you that are close enough, if you have never been to a trial you are missing out. Take a dog and get your feet wet. Just because your dog don't win first place don't mean he ain't no good. Hell i took a dog the other day and we ended up with minus points only. It was a buddy hunt and the buddy keeping score won our cast. After i got home i checked the rules and it told of a whole new story. It's a ball and it don't cost that much so get your feet wet.

I plan on coming down and giving it a try. Sure hope my hounds can handle what you guys have to bring! If not, I am sure it will be a big time anyway! See ya there.

Brad I'm sure your dogs will do fine. Like you said either way you'll have a good time. Hey if nothing else you'll get a chance to buy my breakfast... ha ha look forward to seeing you this weekend. Have a safe trip.

Be my luck I'll end up being called out to Salt Lake City at the last minute... fooey on that

What time in the morning is closing?

7:30 AM EST

I hope to be their on Sunday.

Good luck to all those that plan on coming. Look forward to seeing you fellows. By the way, you can wish me some luck too, I'll need it.. Ha ha... Save travelling to each.
