Yes, it is expensive. What I mentioned before was only for entry fees and hotel, but this does not include gas, food, buying from vendors, grooming supplies, set up fee (grooming/ring side table, bows, wraps, bands, etc..), parking, or if you have a camper. So yes - it is very expensive. I show to prove the quality of my dogs and also it is fun for our family (when we go ourselves). It gets us out of the house and the family together. Now, I do have to admit we may have a few arguments a long the way. We also get to see places we would not have seen and it allows us to be together without the TV, computers, or texting. We do bond as a family and oh, what stories we have to tell sometimes.
