In the sense that the bulldog community is a fertile ground. I've seen the turnout they get and it is impressive. Once they are convinced their dogs can do the jumps in Mondio...

Perhaps we could organize something at one of the shows this fall. It would be great to have a demo at an event that is near an exsisting Mondio group so the interested can follow up.

At our seminar last year in Ontario, a number of bulldog guys showed up and began to train but our derailed trial put the kybosh on that.
