Folks:
I am getting ready to register for the 2012 NCA National Specialty. I didn't see anything listed about a Newf.Net get together. Are we going to have a GTG at National? I'm dying to meet some of you folks!

I've already had an e-mail back that our registration has been received. John and I are volunteering for registration duty on Sunday afternoon, so hoping to meet lots of the people arriving that day for draft and obedience in the early part of the week. Tiika an I will be trying draft again and also obedience.

We'll be there! Not sure what we're entering yet :) I hope Moj and Bella are finished with CDX's by then. May put them both in Rally. Will be showing Blake in sweeps and classes and maybe Mojo in VN or Breed....still not sure!! Open to a get together but I always get so busy with so many things there!! Lots of great info sessions and seminars etc. this year!

I plan on showing up on Tuesday. I don't know yet if I am going to enter Calza in Veterans (she will be 7 on May 2!)

The breeder I got Calza from has offered to groom her for the show. I don't know, I don't have any showing experience to speak of. I think my little girl deserves better than a novice handler...

Not ever having shown, I would never have considered taking Volare into the ring at the National. I wanted him to do well!! :D

Since it's about an hour away, I want to run out... just don't know when. I'm also working Sadie in a draft and obedience class... don't know if we'll be ready for the test.. I'll have to see how it goes.

Barry and I will be there Sunday through Friday. Thinking of doing draft and obedience. We are chairing the CGC test...would love some Newf-Netters to enter and we need stewards too!

We will be there also, Tigger will be in the 12-18 Month class by then. Would like to do CGC evals again, I enjoyed that last year. I'm up to a GTG.

We will be there. Penn-Ohio is doing the draft test - so I know I will be working and Tracy with Hope will be entered. (hopefully). Plus I hope to get some obedience in with Rio. And Hope. We are already signed up for the one educational seminar.

I think I'm flying out for it! And if I'm there for the CGC I'd love to help Linda! Just not sure which days I'll be there for yet. Will be dogless so I'll have extra hands:)

Show your Newf!

Brad...do it! You should be with her in that ring. Unless her breeder wants to do it..you should!
I second this Brad!!! You should do it!!!

I'll be there helping Rescue and showing my boy in a few - but not sure which yet.

I think if you've never shown before, never taken a handling class, the National is not the place to start. Not fair to your dog.

I agree Marlis. I hired a handler for Mojo at the national as a puppy even though I had shown him myself a few times already and taken handling classes. Every year since I have shown him myself but wanted him to to be presented to his best the first time and I didnt feel I knew enough yet to be able to do that.

We'll see what develops at National in terms of a handler. I tend to agree with Marlis about it not being fair to my dog to show her myself.
