DPCA Nationals 2014

[DocReverto]

Is anyone thinking about going to this?
It is October 4th-11th (dates may change, that seems to be the only dates I can find)

It will be in Topeka, KS so I nice hub for everyone.
Aria, and Berlin will be showing in the Futurity class, and Raven will be showing as a special.

I'm pretty sure I am going to take that entire week off if not most of it.
I know it is far out but if anyone was thinking about it, I though we could post here so we could do another get together like in Colorado earlier this year.

I live very close to Topeka, so I could offer two people to stay here. (One would have to sleep on the couch in the basement, but its an awesome couch)

My good truck has a rod knocking, Nationals arnt looking good for me..

 

[JanS]

I'd like to since it is a nice central location and I know I won't be able to swing the UDC nationals this year being all the way out in CA. I don't know the schedule for next year yet (Hubby has a couple trips planned too), but if one of them is during this time I most likely won't be able to. Otherwise "hell yes"...

Here is some new info on it.

I know the Regional has the same judge Raven got his last major under. Definitely going to be entering him as a special.

If anyone is thinking about going I do have plenty of rooms in my house.
I am about an hour and a half away from Topeka. Very easy drive from my house. Should be going almost every day.
It would be really nice if Berlin would finish by then, but who knows.

 

[Archer]

You know I will be there! I'm excited for this. It seems so far away. Hoping Aria will be close to being finished by then.

It would be great to see everyone! I would offer my house too (I'm 5 miles from Matt), but all of my spare rooms are taken up with Euro Dog Designs stock and storage

I 'm definately taking the whole week off to submerge myself in all things Doberman

 

[Gelcoater]

the UDC nationals this year being all the way out in CA. ..

Sorry this is ,where and when is this event in Ca?

 

[JanS]

Sorry this is ,where and when is this event in Ca?

I'm not exactly sure since it just says northern CA on the site. http://udcnationals2014.com/home.html

Edit: It says Lincoln, CA. http://udcnationals2014.com/venue.html

 

[watson123]

In less things change, i will try to make it up there since it sounds like a lot of fun!

 

[DocReverto]

I will say this.... Our barbecue will blow your minds. There definitely will not be a shortage of any good food.
If anyone wants a list of hotel dog friendly places in Kansas City or Topeka I would be happy to find some.

You guys will also be pleasantly surprised when you get to try some Boulevard beer, specifically Tank 7.

 

[JanS]

Darn it stop tempting me you guys.

 

[DocReverto]

Well this should seal the deal then.

You know you want to!!!!

 

[FredC]

I'll commit when the DPCA Nationals comes to Michigan...

 

[JanS]

Well this should seal the deal then.

You know you want to!!!!

LOL, I know I want to too, but I'm not sure if I can justify both trips yet when I'm back to my normal vacation schedule of 4 weeks this year (I had to burn 8 last year), and the airfare is really high this year. I've been watching prices and it's sticking at $650 for my flight to Louisville. Let me check prices to KC....
Oh wait, this is way better than the other one, even though the other one is one I won't miss. Darn you guys... LOL

 

[Ingrid H]

I looked briefly into flights from Bangor to Kansas City this morning and was scared. Boston would probably be better to connect from.

 

[SandyinKS]

Got the dates on the calendar and blocking off..........
