Prevention always, anything can go wrong when you least expect it. Also always best if you groom in your hotel and your dog/bitch gets car sick pack an extra bag with baby wipes, shampoo, hair dryer and iron to do a quick touch up or rinse. Bring a treat but dont give it to him/her until your finished for the day.
BTW you cannot register in an AKC the day of the show I believe only the IABCA allows this. There is about a 3 week prior cut off date entering into AKC shows.
Also with the IABCA if your dog/bitch falls into the adult class. Dont register for all 4 shows. You can finish your little one with championship in three shows, if he/she doesnt finish then you have the option of picking up that last show. Why pay for it if you dont need it.
