Waht should I expect when I get there (as a spectator but wanting find out about showing dogs).
What will I do? What will everyone else be doing? Will breeders be there to talk to about dogs? etc.
Thank you for your help. |
This will be my first time going to this one so I'm not sure about all the details. Different events will be going on in different areas (i.e. conformation, obedience, agility, herding, etc..) You are free to go around and look at the different events. (Areas like competitor crating space will be close off. ) You can take pictures but don't use the flash on the camera. Everyone will either be competiting or watching an event. If you don't want to watch, there is a lot of shopping to do. You probably can find a ton of neat dog stuff for sale. I'm sure there will be lots of breeder around. Don't know if they will have time to answer your questions. Most of them are pretty nice and probably will answer your question if they are not competiting. There are breed seminar going on but it is mostly for breeders.
I think the will allow dogs. They have a fun zone set up where your dog can run a course. Of course you have to pay $12 dollar for you dog to run it. If you bring your dog remember to bring some water and poop bags for your dog.
I'm sure they are selling ticket to see this event. Not sure how much. You can probably get it at the door.
I'll try to find out more information if you want me to. Hope to see you there.
