I'm a cold weather weenie, and Lyric can't do heat that well but still on those "perfect" weekends it would be nice to be outside!Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547292170354458260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-8835928746365883222012-03-27T15:31:09.663-07:002012-03-27T15:31:09.663-07:00Out here, the venue seems to have a LOT to do with...Out here, the venue seems to have a LOT to do with whether they are inside or outside. The Colorado front range has probably 25 AKC trials a year, and only 1 that I know of is outside. If you do AKC, you do it indoors. <br /><br />NADAC has I think 6 trials a year here, and 5 of them are outside! Play NADAC, play outdoors!<br /><br />USDAA is about 50/50 with indoors and outdoors. <br /><br />I love a nice, cool outdoor trial on grass, but often we get surprised with 90 degree temps, or 30mph winds, or once in a while a rain shower, and one year even snow. I suppose I'm with you - give me a climate controlled indoor facility that has plenty of crating and a place to sit and watch, and I'm perfectly happy.Greg Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275468835940333887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-1679804706052767472012-03-27T11:17:56.793-07:002012-03-27T11:17:56.793-07:00Ha, I prefer "Life Sponsor," a rich pers...Ha, I prefer "Life Sponsor," a rich person who wants to live vicariously through my experiences ;) I've warned my husband that if one ever comes along he's SOL (I'm kidding!).<br /><br />I hear you on choosing trials/budgeting. I've budgeted out the year and planned which trials/days of trials we'll attend (yes there is a spreadsheet involved with number of certain types of classes and money/q %). Then again here we've got 2-3 a month so there isn't a shortage and it's mostly the same crowd. I don't know if I could miss out on trial time with friends, that's a tough choice!Breannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764758607529912323noreply@blogger.com
