Just so everyone knows how this was derived - all of the location stuff was hashed over and over again last year. Through various threads and posts the committee members decided the logical place to begin was the most central point of the US and then go to the coasts in subsequent years before returning inland. So, the poll will only be coastal cities.
That being said, each city has to be within 50 miles of at least one major airport, have many dog friendly accommodation options along with dog friendly shops/restaurants and also offer many attractions for those who wish to stay and make a vacation out of the location. Just because a hotel chain indicates they are dog friendly or doesn't normally charge a pet fee does not mean they will accommodate a large group. We found that out last year ruling out several hotels that are normally dog friendly by advertising. When you start talking the possibility of 100 dogs - they don't care how small they are and fees seem to crop up quickly that are non-refundable.
So, that is where we are. Hang tight for another day or so...... |

I hope we aren't making you feel rushed....you all just made this years look like so much fun, we can't wait to find out about next years. But, we will wait happily and patiently.
