Well for the first time I "lost" a good brush at ringside. It has never happened to me before. I left the brush on my ringside table - and well it was the end of the day - my hubby was anxious to go- and in the throes of packing up I didn't realize until after I got home it was missing. So I think take as little as you can get away to ringside.

I think some good suggestions were proffered on what to take to the show grooming area. Are they all inclusive? Perhaps not. I also agree that as you show you will bet to learn what you need for your particular puppy.

One thing I always take is an emergency kit - it goes with us everywhere. It has in it styptic, cold packs, tensor bandages, heat pack, gauze and bandages, antiseptics, including saline water etc.

Power at show sites can be iffy. Maybe they have - but what if everything is taken? What about electrical problems. One item on my list to get is a cordless straightener. Also outdoor shows have their own set of challenges.

We also show BRT;s a large breed needing lots of pre show grooming. For outdoor shows we have a generator - 3 different types of dryers. The list goes on and on.

At least what one needs for Yorkies tends to be a lot more portable.

Good luck with your showing
