________________________________
That's why I noted the Dothan/Houston County rule - or perhaps in this case the Peanut Fetival rule - nothing to do with GMCMI, and given the number of us who brought pets, I don't see the club ever taking such a stand. We are, however, bound to the rules of the venue and unfortunately more and more of them exclude dogs. There's one coffee shop here in Gainesvliie (GA) which does allow dogs. They had to jump through some hoops with the health dept to get this done, but it is do-able.
While I'm on the subject, let me suggest that yall have a look at your homeowner's insurance. If the policy has breed specific exclusions, vote with your pocket. Cancel it, go elsewhere, and tell the agent why you did so. Although there's a lot of anecdotal press to sell papers and TV shows, there is no scientific study to show any one breed of dog is any more or less dangerous, agressive, or passive than any other. Don't support any organization which believes otherwise. (We in the South tried this idea with people in the past, that didn't work either)

We have allowed pets at all of our conventions. You can have them in your motorhome or leashed outside. However I don't know of any place in the country that will allow dogs into buildings where food is served unless they are guide dogs.

Even torrential rains didn't loosen the ground so much the GMCs wouldn't pull off it. The next one I go to, I'm gonna borrow all the x-pens I can find and build an off - leash 'dog park' for the duration. More and more venues are doing the 'no dogs' thing unfortunately.

Thanks for the win! I'll get it off George when next I see him. As to food and dogs, the Europeans are light years ahead of us in that department. And it's do - able, the easiest way being a patio for diners where their pets can join them. As I said, one joint (Inman Perk) in Gainesville allows dogs inside the place. They had to change some of their layout, and some of their access ways for staff to get it done. It was worth it, they do a lot of 'pet' binniss.
One way around this which happens and which I >don't< condone is to put a harness on the dog and claim "Service animal in training." The dog is then allowed pretty much anywhere under ADA. The downside is, as people take advantage of the current ADA rules, eventually it will blow up and become much more restrictive, to the detriment of those people who truly benefit from service animals.
Wanna see what real service dogs can do? Have a look at
http://www.akc.org/news/ace/2012/honorees.cfm
and scroll down to the Service Award. As far as we know, Pilot is only the second BWD extant who is a Service Dog, and the first to be so honored. Ann gets in my coach at shows by having Pilot step up into the door, and then uses him to pull her up.

Johnny,
Most states that I have dealt with have rules about dogs in places with open food.
For me, I'd often prefer having the dogs instead of so many people's children. The dogs aren't just better behaved, but they are cleaner.
Oh, By the way, You won an insulated tote bag. I was sitting next to KenH and he suggested that he could hold it until you and then remembered that George Zookoff (sp?) lives close by you and so it got passed to him.

When I lived in France, The local watering hole / restaurant had a cute doggie that came by every evening around 5:30 for petting and treats. No one ever thought that he did not belong there. I never figured out whose doggie he was.
