Hmmmmmmm, the entry fees are the cheap part. For a 2 day week-end at a show it will typically cost us about 350 to 400 to show 2 dogs. That is fuel, food, lodging, grooming supplies, entry fees, for each dog for each day. Then if we browse the vendors and want to buy something we can drop another 100 or more. We limit our selves to only one or two weekends a month because we show 2 or 3 dogs at each show. Also have toll fees when you travel by the toll roads.
I have seen plenty of beautiful dogs out there that are not being shown. Just because you may not choose to show your dog, does not mean he/she is not a wonderful specimen. The only thing I would want to see is that anyone breeding does try to breed to the standard. |
