We do try to set up together, but sometimes there just aren't many Yorkies or black russians at the show. Usually then I set up with the pro handlers. And yes we do watch each other's dogs.

Mostly there is at least one assistant sometimes two always present if most of us are off to the ring. And basically we all know each other.

But I have heard of suspected dog poisioning (three times) in different venues over I guess about eight years or so.

It saddens me to think it would be a fellow exhibitor that would stoop so low. I was at Hamburg once, and the grooming area was separate from the show rings; we just had got back in with our then pup and everyone told us we missed all the excitement, apparently two kids (old enough to know better), went around opening up crates and letting out about 3 dogs. So that time the buddy system didn't work so well.

Dave and I went back into the vendor area and bought a lock for Magics crate.
