You have your gas money, hotel fees, food, show clothes and well you get the picture. If you live in a rural area like I do, then you will have to travel to find shows . My show weekend away from my home area averages about 500. and that is usually with someone sharing room expenses, gas and etc. Show entry is $25 per show and if you go to a five or six show weekend it adds up. Plus when i travel, I drive to the motel the day or night before so I can get up very early to bath and groom my dogs. |
Im sry guys I meant they will be ready to come home to me frome the breeders at 12 weeks....i realize that I probably couldnt show them at 12 weeks just hoping to prepare them so when they are old enough I can show them. Thanks for the helpful info though!!!
