Another 'Nationals' question -

Saturday is the last day - is it a full with all the vendors? or is it a shorten day? Like till Noon?  we are about 3 hours away, and are trying to figure out if its going to be worth boarding Gizmo for 2 days to try to experience the show. (we'd want to get an early start, which means dropping her off Friday night, and we wouldnt be back quick enough saturday, so we'd have to pick her up sunday)

Any information would be appreciated, We really hate to miss the chance if its something to check out, and we really didnt plan for it. However. . .

Ooops! I hit post too quickly

The first link above is the premium list for Nationals and the other links are the judging programs for each day.

If you are going to spend the night at a hotel, you could choose a hotel that allows dogs. But, since Nationals is at a hotel, you can't bring a dog that isn't entered in the show to that particular hotel. 

Wednesday is the "big" day of the week but, every day is fun.

Ahhh TIMES :) great :)

Basically 9am until 6pm is what the activies are it seems...       Jacinda THANK YOU ! we arent sure (yet) if we can do it, but we'd like to :)

Would you be staying overnight?

If so would she be ok in the hotel room?  I know when we take Stoney, we take his bed and we leave him alone in the room when we go out to eat or go out to shop or whatever.  He just sleeps, while we're gone, just like at home when we work or go out.  I have a travel crate, which we set up in the room, but he never goes in there.  I always let the front desk know we're going out and give them my cell number.  Hope this helps.  Sounds like you'd really like to go, it would be ashame for you to miss it.

no not overnight - a down and back

We are trying to get 'Gizmo Coverage' :) for us to take a day trip down, it will be about 2-3 hours from Dover (we think) depending on D.C. Traffic - and we want to be able to spend some time there.  The max we try to let Gizmo stay home alone is 8 hours, so if the Son-in-Law isnt working that day, we'll take her up. 

Weds is out for us, we both work, but Friday is a maybe, aslong as things are still going on to experience it.  I tried to read the website and I didnt find the right area for times - and I dont know the lingo to figure out the others (yet)   LOL

I'll read the PDF's that were just posted :)
