Don't ever feel intimidated, they are for the most part very nice. Just don't go up to them prior to the shows, that's when they are busy and oh so nervous. Attempting to get the dog ready for the ring in time. Try putting up a topknot, only to have to take it down 3 times, just because your beloved Fifi isn't cooperating and it's 10 minutes before ring time. I usually tell people that are standing around watching me groom, looking like they want to ask questions, that I'll be happy to answer all their questions and allow them to hold the dog after I get out of the ring.
