judge the Regional on

Saturday at the National in

Enid, Oklahoma in October

2016.

There was discussion as to

whether we leave the position

open or look for other

candidates.

We do need to renew our AKC

subscription for show results

and companion events at $420

each.

Howard made a motion to

renew the two subscriptions

for AKC results for

conformation and companion

events at $420 each for a total

the Breeds at the Rose City

2018 National:

we were going to pair up with

the Bouvier’s in 2018 but that

is not going to work due to

commitments that Purina has.

We could not have it indoors

check with Purina to see if this

issue has been corrected. We

will need a show chair from the
