**ATTENTION EXHIBITORS BRINGING DOGS**
This is a new host hotel for this National location! The Puli Club lost its previous host hotel due to some guests not treating their room and linens with respect! We remind everyone of the PCA Room Responsibility Policy and we will continue to reiterate that policy as the National weekend gets closer! Please plan to:
• Only exercise your dog in designated dog walk areas outside the hotel
• PICK UP after your dog
• Cover your guest room bed(s) with a large sheet or blanket in case your dog jumps on the bed
• Place durable plastic underneath your dog’s crate.
If you choose to stay at the host hotel, you are hereby made aware that the National Planning committee and/or long-time puli exhibitor and past PCA President Barbe Pessina may ask to see the state of your room prior to check-out. Violators of the hotel guest or PCA Room Policies may be subject to disciplinary action if not following all guidelines! Thank you in advance for being a respectful guest and an ambassador for our breed and dog exhibitors everywhere!
We hope to see you in Massachusetts!
