When is it ok to come up to you and say hi? if i see you at your tables on the side? I don't want to bother anyone or get yelled at. LOL
I was also wanted to go to meet the breeds at the garden. Do i have to buy tickets for the whole show or can i just go to that? i've never been to a dog show before and I think it will be fun. Not to mention it will be great for my grooming skills. |
Vs a vs the Garden. You could go to the Westminster Kennel Club site and see if there are price differences on the tickets. My advice is to go early, if you want to see the grooming and meet some breeders. Later on in the day, it gets very crowded. The grooming area is a separate area to where the benched area is. Look at what time the Yorkies are being shown, and arrive well in advance of that, as then they will be up on the tables in the grooming area being groomed for show.
In terms of the show at the New Yorker, seeing folks at their tables on the side and striking up a conversation is usually fine; but if in doubt, just ask if now is an ok time to talk? Some exhibitors are pretty nervous before showing and want to stay focussed on their dog and or looking at the dogs in the ring. If you buy a catalogue you will be able to follow the judging a little closer, and also see the names of the dogs and the exhibitors who are showing that day.
See you at the show!
