Do you think the exhibitors will be interested in bows, I know I always love to see new bows, and they are good quality bows , but then, I don't have a show dog. If they would be shopping would the first day of the show be my best day or should I wait for Saturday, and hope I'll have more spectators shopping. Ooor should I just stay home, I will have a small shop compared to some of the big companies. Please be honest, I'd really like to know.  Cathy, mom to  Sarge and Lexi |
As an exhibitor, I will give you my honest answer. Exhibitors that require bows for their dogs, have their favorite vendors they obtain their bows from. Usually those vendors are exhibitors too, have knowledge on various sizes for each breed from puppy size to adult. And as mentioned above, they already have their favorite or superstisious bow. I for one make my own, as many others do. They are durable and stiff and made to handle multiple wearings, and the constant product that is used. I make my own to fit each dog's head size, ear set and facial furnishings coloration.
