GRCA 2009 National Specialty

Sweeps: Dogs will start at 10:00 am. as opposed to the 8:30 as listed. Bitches will start at 8:30 as written on the judging program. This will allow for a stagger in class judging.

Obedience: Will be judged in the Coliseum on mats. Best entry of the facility for obedience competitors will be at the North East/West doors. See the map here.

Dogs will be judged in the same ring all 3 days and bitches will be judged in the same ring all 3 days

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
