The FCI team can be found on the AWDF site www.awdf.net.
The WUSV team seems to be in flux. Not at all sure anymore who is on the WDA side of the team -- two of the members seem to have dropped out.
Dan Cox qualified (won USA Nationals and qualifying score at the Working Dog Championship). But, it looks from the results of the qualifying events, that several of the same people could be on either or both teams from USA. That could explain the apparent shuffling of the FCI Team line-up. I think USA sends two members this year, plus an alternate.

I am not 100% positive on this, but, for the WUSV it looks like it is:
Charlie Meszaros, Rick Burgos, and Pete Kovach from the WDA (Pete is in because Eric had to pull Buddy)
and,
Mike Diehl and Dan Cox from USA
It would be great if this was posted definitively somewhere and there was a web site so that people could buy shirts, hats, etc. to help support our teams.
Correction: There is a place to donate money on the WDA web site, but, it seems to be WDA related only and not for the entire team representing the United States at the WUSV. If I am wrong on this correct me. Thanks!

Steve,
You are not wrong--that is only for the WDA portion of the Team. There is nothing comparable for the USA portion, or <sigh> the WHOLE TEAM.
I suggested that USA sell a team-supporter version of the Team jacket for YEARS--literally. I began in 1998 with the World Committee chair. While all and sundry apparently thought it a good idea...nothing happened.
Last year, a Canadian ( Officer Suzanne Eviston) took it upon herself to have Team Canada t-shirts made and brought them to Kentucky with her. I think she sold them all to the Canadians present, as well as Americans (like me!!). This year, GSSCC is officially making a version of the team shirt and jacket available for sale, as a fund-raiser for the Canadian Team. I know the Canadians, attend their events and support their clubs. So, I will purchase a Team Canada jacket to support that team, none being available from USA. <sigh> Maybe next year... Maybe we need a USA member to just go ahead and do it to show the organization that there would be a favorable response.
Their is/was merchandise available to support the FCI Team. Cheer for them this weekend!!!
