Agreed.
I don't think Anahiem has ever been cancelled. NARBC is the biggest show in California every Sept. Granted, not ALL of the big breeders go, but I have met BHB, Amir, TSK and a few others at Anahiem the past couple of years.
IRBA, on the other hand, was cancelled for this December... They show in San Diego and in Pomona. Rather small show, and most vendors that I know have found it to be declining.
I think that there are also new shows popping up here and there, but I have yet to attend.
There are shows here in Cali, you just have to wait for them!
P.S. Cassandra, VPI (The Barkers) were there last year, they just didn't have a booth. I met them!
