So, I made it to the show today in San Antonio and it was really neat! I had no idea what to expect and was a little stressed about having to drive 100 miles and get there at the designated time, not knowing where the building was, what the parking situation would be or how to get into the building. Well, I worried for nothing. Made it with about 45 minutes to spare so I walked through the breeding area, looking for the Yorkies, bought my catalog and then found the ring.
Watched the pugs - cute little smooshy faces - finish up and then the Yorkie exhibitors descended. They moved their grooming tables over to the outside perimeter of the ring, so there wasn't much room to stand and watch. There were about 5 chairs the pug spectators were sitting in, but they quickly disappeared once their part of the show was over. But that was ok because I found the breeder I went to meet and she was soooo sweet I just hung out with her, her puppy (he won!) and her friend. They were kind enough to share the ins and outs and it was just so fun.
Unfortunately, my well laid plans to document the show in my catalog and with my camera (the batteries were dead - DUH!!) went out the window because I stood talking with these lovely ladies. I saw all the Yorkies, but I didn't get to put names to faces with the breeders, which in retrospect bums me out. I tried to take some photos with my iPhone, but the lighting was baaad and they didn't come out. I did get one of this beautiful puppy ringside, however. Isn't he a doll? Can't wait for the next show!!
