I've not been to a dog show before and there is a local AKC event coming up close by. It appears to be all breeds and is hosted by a local kennel club. I'd like to go watch the yorkies specifically - DH will not sit thru all the breeds!

I can't find a schedule however. Are there normally several breeds shown at once in diff spots (depending on venue)? Is it casual enough that we can come and leave or does one need to be seated at the beginning?

Any viewing tips for a novice observer here? I have no plans to try and ever show myself, but am interested in how it is done. Thanks!
