| Dog show newbie & I'm clueless... I saw somewhere that there is a dog show in San Antonio TX in July and one in Houston in August. I have never been and really want to go but clearly have less than any notion of what to expect. Couple of questions: - How do you get in? Do you just walk up to the venue and buy a ticket? Do you have to buy in advance??? - As a spectator, if I bring record of all shots, etc, am I allowed to take my yorkie in with me? - any other words of wisdom for someone who has never been before? Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks much y'all!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | As a spectator you shouldn't have to pay a ticket fee to get in unless it's a Specialty show and then they sell tickets at the door I think. Most of the shows will be AKC events and I've never been charged for a ticket at those. I've had to pay for parking before but not for a ticket. You will want to buy a program, usually there will be a sales booth centrally located at the event. The program will list ring assignments, show times, exhibitor and dog names, etc. The cost is generally about $10, at least around here, IDK about other areas. I wouldn't bring my pet yorkie to a dog show even if it is allowed. I want to pay attention to the show dogs, shop the vendors and visit. Bringing my yorkie would be too distracting, I would be constantly worried about them being comfortable, etc.
