you will be doing most of your show grooming in the hotel and touching it up at ringside.

mine is right in what was my living room before the dogs took over. Then I just fold it down and take it to the shows with me. i don't have a lot of stuff right now since i just started showing. I don't wrap my girls coat but i do put her in oil a lot. I use a flat iron to iron her hair only right before a show actually at the motel the morning of the show to get rid of a little wave she has at thee bottom.

make sure you get to the show a couple hours before the yorkies are scheduled to show. Find out where the exhibitors are and go watch them groom and get ready for the ring. I don't remember seeing any flat-ironing at the show last weekend but it was inside of a barn. But I saw lots of brushing, topknots being done, and finishing touches.

Go to http://www.onofrio.com/ and click on Show Information. Then click on closed shows. Scroll down and click on the show you plan to go to (Valley Center, KS). Then you will click on Judging Program.

I just looked and the show times aren't up yet, but it will probably be up tomorrow sometime. You'll get all the info you need so far as rings and times there.

No, mine is a Conair from Walmart. They do make the ones that you can use ringside but so far, I haven't found one locally. i really need it tho because from the room to the ring, that little wave sometimes come back. can't use hairspray. The times that the yorkies will show and what ring they will be in is only posted after entries close. I never did find it on the onfrio webiste but it was in the little book they mailed me after my entry was recieved it is the one they send to all exhibotrs. You can also buy a program book (10.) the day of the show from the vendors. it tells you how many dogs are in each class, who they are owned and handled by and etc. The little book they send exhibitors in the mail doesn't tell you all that.

I think there was a thread on here about what flat-irons exhibitors preferred. I'll see if I can dig it up for you

MyFairLacy · 03-25-2008, 05:30 PM

Here is the thread I was thinking of Ceramic Iron

I love my Chi iron for the dogs! Wouldn't do without it! Since I'm showing Molly I don't have to iron her coat because I don't wrap her coat and she has straight as a board coat so does Radar but when you wrap it it curls...
