I went to this last year and I still don't have a tracking dog, yet...... If you are even remotely considering a tracking dog this is a must attend event. I got to meet Harold and Otis, Otis is not just a good tracker, he's a friendly dog and probably my favorite one there. Oh, and Harold is a stand up guy to. Being around all of the different breeds that will be there and talking with the handlers can give you a good idea of what tracking really is and how the different breeds might fit into your family situation. This event gives you the opportunity to talk with the handlers and ask them questions, everyone I talked with was more than happy to tell me what I wanted to know. I hope to go again this year, even though it is a long drive for me.
