Since it is a benched show, exhibitors are contracted to stay by their benches during certain hours. On Saturday those hours were 10am-5:30pm. Around 2pm on Saturday my dog was done...you could just see it on his face.
In addition to the fatigue, I noticed it was REALLY humid in the hall where we were benched...if any of you have had to deal with coat this is a nightmare--especially for someone like me who does not yet have all of the tricks down.
Dont be disappointed. If you are in the Bay Area you have plenty more shows you can go to. On 2/2-2/3 there is the dog show in Fresno and on 2/15-218 there is a 4 day show at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds. =) |
Great! Thanks for the response. I did go Sunday. I think I might go to the Santa Clara show. My niece is 4 and she was SO disappointed she didn't get to pet a Yorkie. I took her to the Silkies and she got to pet one. That seemed to satisfy her!
