Next National and regional specialties...

[BoldogKennel]

Hello, newbie here. Can someone tell me when and where the next national is? And if there are any regional specialties inthe PNW coming up? I tried the AKC site and got nowhere.

Thanks!

The national specialty (for a number of years now) is at Montgomery County KC (PA) in early October. There is also a roving national specialty; the next one is in Texas, March 24, hosted by Trinity Valley Cairn Terrier Club.

The only PNW regional club licensed for specialties is the Columbia River Cairn Terrier Club. Our next specialty is July 20, connected with the Stumptown Cluster at Portland Expo.

Further afield, the Cairn Terrier Club of Northern California has a specialty upcoming on February 18. The Cairn Terrier Club of Denver has a specialty in August.

I just checked the club page for the national specialty and it still lists 2011. Does anyone know the dates for 2012 at Montgomery County?

Sunday October 7th is the annual specialty at Montgomery County. The sweepstakes is normally the day before, at the host hotel. The CTCA public specialty page will probably be updated once the club sends the website administrator an information packet with sweepstakes information, etc.

I would LOVE to get to the Columbia River regional specialty some day; fun with Cairns in a beautiful setting! But alas, not this year. Too much company coming in July.
