2021 National Specialty
The 2021 ASTC National Specialty will be held at the Sheraton, Midwest City, Oklahoma, site of the 2018 National. There will be one more show than usual--a Trinity Valley Shih Tzu Club specialty, two ASTC regional specialties, and the National, which will include both puppy sweepstakes and cut-down sweepstakes (perhaps for dogs whose coats didn’t make it for another year?). Obedience and Rally competition will be held at the Sheraton, and Agility trials nearby at Soccer City.
