Web Site Updates!
Beginning today, June 29, 2009, we will be implementing the new GSDCA Web Site design.
Some of the links on the old site will now bring you to pages in the new site. These pages will open in a new window or tab in your browser, so you will be able to easily return to the old site.
Once all of the information has been moved to the new site and verified, the gsdca.org link will take you to the new site and the old pages will no longer be available.
This transition period should only last about two weeks.
In the mean time, if you are transferred to the new site and cannot find the information you arre looking for, simple return to the old site.

Hotel News
Map and list of hotels near the Champions Center site of the 2009 National.
In an effort to keep all our members updated with the latest information for this year’s National, The Review and the GSDCA Web Site are providing a map of hotels available near the Champions Center in Springfield. You’ll find that map on the inside back cover of the nest issue of the Review, and as a PDF file at the link above. Bear in mind that not all of the hotels listed are under contract with the GSDCA. To date the club has contracts with the Holiday Inn (Host hotel and #12 on the map), the Ramada Limited (#14 on the map), Towne Place Sites Dayton North, Holiday Inn Dayton Airport, Red Roof Inn Dayton-North Airport, Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Huber Heights and the Baymont Inn & Suites in Huber Heights. As always you are encouraged to stay in contracted hotels. The parent club benefits from the number of rooms used by GSDCA members, so please be sure to say you are with the GSDCA when booking. Note that each of these hotels has agreed to accept dogs. Some web sites may indicate no pets at that facility or a corporate policy of no pets, but we have agreements in place with these hotels to allow dogs.
