The website for the show was www.reliantdogshows.com and I looked in the FAQ section http://www.reliantdogshows.com/faq.html and it said this:
May I bring my dog?
The competitions are only for dogs that have been pre-entered. If you are coming to receive an ILP certificate, you must bring the dog. You may also bring your dog for special fittings of canine sportswear or collars. We do not offer any "social" activities for family pets so do not expect to find the equivalent of a dog park. If you do bring your pet, we ask that he be at least 6 months old; have all of the the proper vaccinations; and be under control at all times.
So most shows don't allow spectators to bring their pets? |
Only the dogs that are being shown are actually approved to enter the exhibitors buildings. Often exhibitors will bring dogs and puppies theyre not showing (crated) to ready them for the ring side noises or to have other exhibitors evaluate their pup or puppies.
Reasoning behind "no pets allowed" is because of health and welfare of the exhibitors dogs. Family pets, large and small are not often used to the chaos, some can insight bad behavior, some can bring in health problems.
This being said, every show Ive attended or particapted in Ive not seen pets banned or asked to leave.
