| Supplies needed for Match this weekend? Any suggestions on what I absolutely must have with me? The location is less than 30 minutes from my home. Thanks in advance!

A ringside table will double as a grooming table. A chair for you. x-pen for him to potty, don't take your dog into the public potty areas. Dependent on on how long your dogs coat is, you'll need a flat iron. Anti-Stat, Hairspray, bitty bond, gel. Bait, bait bag for you. Bottled water. Squeekie toy. Breath mints for you.

| It's to catch those little stray hairs and keep them in place. Can't go anywhere without it. Or at least put up a good show topknot without it.

| I will be showing up like the "Country Mouse" lol Just made a quick trip to Wallyworld for an aluminum folding camp table which I read on another thread can be used as a ringside table & black rubber matting for it. Do I need to take the grooming arm from my actual grooming table with us? Will definitely remember the show lead lol. I do not have an xpen at this time and I am worried that it would not make it in time with regular shipping and I refuse to pay for expedited shipping so any suggestions if I am unable to find one locally? Also.. how long does his hair need to be to use a flat iron? And if it isn't long enough do I just blow dry it as straight as possible? I hate to throw too much at him all at once. Gail, I was in Toronto this past May to go to the Hockey Hall of Fame with hubby. He was playing in an "old" man's tourney near Niagara. Beautiful area! He lived in Sault St. Marie as a kid.

| I made a couple of bows today to only discover after more searching that some puppy bows use a pearl instead... should I make a couple more with pearl in place of the rhinestone & silver beads? I will have to run back to the store if so. I cannot get a picture of his profile to save my life but these are from this afternoon.

| This is a little off topic but I was reading an article this weekend by a very successful handler and he said that he always has ky jelly in his bag. Is this used for the topknot in place of the bitty bond? That's all I could come up with but didn't know if that made sense? |

I've never heard or used KY for grooming a yorkie. The only thing I use it for is whelping time and taking temps.

The article was actually very interesting and was titled 2 Talented Guys and was a side by side interview with Sergio and Kristen McGregor. | |

Like I said I've never used KY for grooming.....I can't see a reason to use it. But, then every exhibitor has their own preference of products they use. And they're very dependent on what dog they're showing.

| I guess at this point I will have to try something I already have for humans as the bitty bond for just this time and wash it out when we get home. This is a small match put on by the Nashville Kennel Club. http://www.nashvillekennelclub.org/p...atch-flyer.pdf Do you think there will be vendors for this as well? Lisa
