Jodi,
As it so happens the trial secretary is a corgi person and should be running her corgi, most likely her black-headed tri girl. I can also think of at least a couple of other corgi people who might be there - one from Raleigh more than likely and maybe one from Winston-Salem. So chances of seeing some corgis run are pretty good.
Michael comments:
"- afterall at most championship level conformation, agility, obedience etc a catalogue is produced for distribution well before the event ie after closing date for entries, so I can't see any problems. If there are, I'd like to know about them"
Catalogues are published, but in the case of AKC events are NOT available until the day of the show. I'm not certain about agility trials, but I do know that for conformation and obedience trials; counts are all that are available. For example with conformation, once all the entries are in a judging program is sent out and available on line from the superintendent in charge of the show. They give you the total number of dogs of each breed, break out how many class dogs, how many class bitches, how many dog specials and how many bitch specials have been entered. They also tell you which ring and at what time the breed(s) will show. This is all the information that is available before a show.
Many of the obedience and performance and even specialty events do not utilize superintendents, rather the trial secretaries and other club members compile the information and produce the catalogues. In either case, all that would be allowed would be the counts of how many dogs are running in which height division and which classes - but not how many of each individual breed.
