We have several trophies for the National that still need to be sponsored. All of the Independent Specialty trophies will need to be sponsored. Contact Vicki Allenbrand if you are willing to sponsor blackjackdogs@earthlink.net
We are still in need of volunteers to chair positions for the agility trial. If you would like to help in ANY area regarding the National please reach out to one of the chairs. All help will be welcome. It takes a lot of volunteers to put on a successful show this size.
