Move the location of the American Brittany Club Gun Dog National Championship
Final supporters
As I have competed in ABC sponsored Gun Dog stakes around the Country, from the East Coast to the West Coast, the same question keeps coming up. "How do we get the ABC Gun Dog National Championship moved out of Ionia, MI?"
This petition is not asking for your comments on where or when the event should take place, but only if you feel it is time to move it out of Michigan. As a former member of the ABC Board of Directors, I have heard this question come up at the meeting for years. Nothing is ever done about it. My feeling is that if we, members of the ABC, show enough support for this change, our President will form a proper committee to facilitate this change. This will be a huge task as it will involve the cooperation of Dates coordinators, Regional Clubs and the membership.
Lastly, this petition is not about garnering huge numbers of signatures. It is about hearing from Current ABC Members. So if you know members of the ABC who are not connected to media that this may reach, please pass it on to them. Secretaries of Clubs, please share with your membership. Please sign it and give your club affiliation so we can verify your membership. Please sign the petition only if you are a current member of the ABC and are in favor of moving the Gun Dog National Championship.
Thank you for your support!

The event should travel to represent the variety of terraine our dogs compete in.
I strongly support the concept of moving the Gun Dog National Championship around the United States, IF, the grounds contain wild birds in reasonable numbers. Our National Champions should represent the Brittanys very best breed-able bird dogs.
Have had a gun dog eligible past five years, unpredictable weather -, variation of quality of courses. I stopped considering participating.
Certainly I support this. What kind of a national event allows one to run their dogs on the grounds, in various trials, in the immediate weeks prior to the national?
Northern Colorado Brittany Club and Sahuaro Brittany Club member, and I support moving the ABC Gun Dog National championship!
Please move it where it can be ran on pre-released birds, not dropped down the day of the trial.

I would like to examine the effect of changing the Gun Dog National back to a rotating event. My two key objections to the MI location is that it is not central for anyone west of the Rockies, and the dates play havoc with regional club fall schedules. I wonder if switching to a regional event would help to rejuvenate regional clubs.
