Default dog show surprise

http://www.raudogshows.com/shows/Sep...PoconoMnt.html

I went passed this place on Friday and wanted to stop but I was on the way
to work. It seems to just be a Pennsylvania thing but I never even know it
existed so I thought that was a pretty cool thing to see near my town (since
nothing is ever near me).

I was a little confused also. It's a dog show. I didn't go to the Rau link
but I assume it's a conformation show since that's what Rau does. Not just
a Pennsylvania thing. And I'd expect that they would have as many dog
attending from New Jersey and New York. Depending on the breeds and the
expected majors, it could certainly pull also out of Delaware, Maryland,
Connecticut.

Are you surprised that it's in the Poconos? Or are you surprised that there
is an AKC club in the Poconos that is capable of putting on a dog show? The
Poconos is not the end of the world. There are conformation shows within a
couple hours drive of the Poconos for much of the year. Between all the New
Jersey shows and the Harrisburg and Philadelphia show (and then the central
PA and the southern NYS shows), I can't imagine that it's all that difficult
to find a conformation show accessible for someone living in the Poconos.

Now if you want a pretty cool thing, take a longer drive from the Poconos up
to the NYS Finger Lakes - a weekend trip. The end of September every year
there is a combination conformation, obedience and agility show. Huge show.
They also usually do something cool like lure coursing - not as a
competition but to introduce people to something other than the big three.

Conformation and Obedience. Obedience numbers have been dwindling,
but Rally seems to be perking those up a bit. Still, the Mid-Atlantic
states are pretty heavily loaded with dog shows in general.

I didn't know of that particular dog show so close to my house. Its a big
deal when you live in the middle of nowhere and nothing ever happens there.

I don't live in the Poconos and the location for the dog show isn't really
considered the Poconos either.
And yes, it is surprising that the dog show was near my house (well 15
minutes from it)


The
Poconos is not the end of the world.


Its pretty bad where I live. The nearest mall is 40 minutes, the local
Walmart is 30 minutes (soon to be 40 as they are moving it).

Yeah, but I am not talking about a couple of hours, I talking about a couple
of minutes, big difference at least to me.

PA and the southern NYS shows), I can't imagine that it's all that

pretty much, if there are fairgrounds, you can count on dog events
being held there at some point. Same with armories.

I'm about 6 miles from a village fairgrounds and while they
have horse shows there (and demolition derby and trotting
horse races) I can't recall a dog show ever on that site.
However, the big upcoming Wine Country (Californians will
kindly not snicker) Dog Show that Judy mentioned is at a
state park a good distance from pretty much anything.

There is, however, a breed show each August in Owego at the park there. And
an agility trial in Ithaca in July.

If you go the distance to Syracuse and Rochester, there is a fair amount of
dog stuff near you. The dog clubs in Ithaca do put on shows and trials -
they just go to Syracuse and Wine Country to do it.

Wonder why they don't ever use the village fairgrounds? I know the agility
people all really like the livestock pavillion at Cornell (I've never been
there) but there must be a reason why there's nothing at the fairgrounds.
Camping. perhaps?

And, wine reference aside, no one should snicker at the show itself. It IS
a major, major event. In the middle of nowhere.

Sure. I'm just saying that dog events in Podunk aren't
unheard of, at least around here. Although, come to think
of it, I live a few miles from Podunk and I've never heard
of a dog show, dog classes, or anything dog there (or
anything else of any nature since the cross-country ski
center closed).

I'm not sure anybody knows it's there. There's certainly
lots and lots and lots of people camping onsite during the
annual Grassroots Music Festival, also at the fairground.
I'm not crazy about taking classes at the livestock
pavilion. It looks clean but there's too much horse and cow
dookie in the footing and my dogs never seem to quite get
past that.

And, wine reference aside, no one should snicker at the show itself. It IS
a major, major event. In the middle of nowhere.


A very beautiful nowhere, for those who feel like making the
trip. Unfortunately (or not) I'm off to NH this weekend to
pick up my new dog box, so I won't be able to go up there
myself. I'm actually pretty close to Romulus (20 minutes,
maybe) so perhaps we shouldn't be making fun of the
location, come to think of it.
