This is if you are doing it yourself. Tripple this cost at least if using a handler. Many folks do not have $125.00- $200.00 to blow on a weekend of shows that may be close to home. There are some that still have beautiful dogs.

WOW..... that is cheaper than what it costs for my son to be on a travel baseball team!!! I was thinking it would cost more than that -- guess we learn something new everyday! FYI - I am not saying it is "CHEAP" -- let me clarify -- I am simply saying that since I am not in the "show" circle, (and still have quality, healthy dogs, by the way) I did not have any idea of the costs involved. My son's travel baseball team is about to break us!!!! LOL
I, too, have much respect for people that handle and show dogs.
