Woods End Farm is approximately 14 miles from the Days Inn Hotel, with tracking in the same immediate area.  The draw for tracks will be held at the herding site where we'll have morning hospitality and lunch available for our herding and tracking participants.  No one goes hungry in the south!

A SILENT AUCTION will be held on Saturday, November 8th at the herding trials. The tables will close 15 minutes after the last awards are presented.

Saturday night we'll have a combined dinner (pay as you order from the menu--full bar available) in a private room with our judges and participants

at The Chop House restaurant in the delightful historic downtown of Madison, close to the host hotel.  This entire area outside of Athens, GA

(home of the University of Georgia) is home to artists of all types but especially pottery, and offers many historic antebellum houses and gardens

and great antiquing!  Our southern hospitality will be second to none and the area is a 'don't miss' for those of you intrigued by the 'real south'—

Madison is the small Georgia town that General Sherman said was 'too pretty to burn' and diverted his troops around it during the civil war, so its

historic buildings are truly original and unique.  So--if you don't have a dog ready to track or herd, don't let that stop you--start your '08 National

Specialty early with us in this charming part of NE Georgia before moving to the mountains of western Georgia for our conformation, obedience,

rally and agility events.

“ASK ME” TEAM VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The Ask Me team is back in 2008 and we need your help. Volunteers are needed throughout the week to serve as the “go-to” folks for all the questions that will arise at our specialty from both seasoned exhibitors (“Where can we walk dogs…what time does Rally start…where is the bathing station?”) to local visitors attending their first show (“What type of dogs are those…how can I get a Corgi…do these dogs shed?”). You can work as much and whenever you choose during the week. Volunteers are needed for all locations – herding/tracking, agility, and conformation/obedience/rally. To join the Ask Me team, please contact Cheryl Owens at sportiecorgi@aol.com or (864) 637-8141, or Karen James at karenscorgis@cox.net or (850) 398-6215.

This site will be updated periodically.  Please check back for new information.
