I don't think it's rude but I've always heard to wait until after the show. Being relatively new to the ring (been showing for a couple of years now), I get really nervous before the show. Trying to get the top knot up, trying to keep your dog still while doing it. It can all be a little stressful. I still always try to be kind to others but some people might be so stressed out that they have a hard time. Or maybe you just ran into someone who wasn't very nice. I wouldn't give up but I'd probably give people some space and just watch until after the show. |
