Peyton's a bit of a haul and gas/hotels are expensive and there's the risk of bad weather at an outdoor trial. I think there were other reasons but I can't remember for sure. I think the person was close to a MACH as well and there's another DOCNA trial the week before. I don't know, it's not a choice I would have made but everybody has their own motivations.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-41998030281492220682011-05-06T18:58:31.182-06:002011-05-06T18:58:31.182-06:00But if you did DOCNA and there was a DOCNA trial t...But if you did DOCNA and there was a DOCNA trial the same weekend as an AKC trial, why would you choose AKC? Seriously, if I had the choice of USDAA or AKC on the same weekend ... without a doubt I would choose USDAA.<br /><br />Soleil says, "Of course I don't need practice - I'm perfect!

But the issue is not the 200 people on the wait list because it's likely a good portion of them only do AKC or don't do DOCNA. The question is how many people got into the trial that would have otherwise gone to the DOCNA trial. I can think of at least one who has 2 dogs who was at DOCNA last year.<br /><br />Soleil is going to be perfect and not need any training in the ring. ; )Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-78156235627612313082011-05-06T14:36:02.658-06:002011-05-06T14:36:02.658-06:00I don't think it was the AKC trial.

So now there are 200 people who won't be trialing Memorial Day Weekend. <br /><br />I'm not interested in DOCNA (although might register Soleil so I can TIR this Fall), but I would definitely support UKI!Morgannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185607903093272777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-29966512335170089492011-05-06T07:10:58.150-06:002011-05-06T07:10:58.150-06:00Yay for a UKI trial!

I just hope it doesnt get too warm for the dogs' sake.<br /><br />Bummer we had to cancel our DOCNA trial. We were barely 25% full with just over a week left before the close - we had to make the decision before the judge bought plane tickets and we had to put in a ribbon order. It must have been the new AKC show - like you say, do we really need another AKC show? I know the Prairie Dog show had about double the entry count we had for theirs, which is held the week before ours. We probably wont do another DOCNA show - we just dont get enough support to make it worthwhile. We are thinking of throwing a UKI at some point though.<br /><br />Good luck on all those races - I'm impressed!Greg Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275468835940333887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-65298933769947886622011-05-05T19:18:21.197-06:002011-05-05T19:18:21.197-06:00All thereby confirming that you are completely cra...All thereby confirming that you are completely crazy, and not just dog-lady crazy! Good luck and [well in advance] have fun with all your races.
