You are so right Irene about training your dog on the grass as well. I was the one that had a hard time with Oreo this past week-end because I only trained him on concrete! The poor guy was hopping and prancing on the grass instead of walking! So yes please take in consideration the grass! I did know it was going to be outdoors but it didn't dawn on me that would make a difference. OHHHHH us WANNA BEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ1

2. Dont' leave the show until you get your pictures taken. The do them at the end of the show. I left drove an hour out and came back when Theresa told me about the pictures.

3. Don't wait to register the day of the show. Register online otherwise you may not be able to enter day of the show. I missed the first show because of that.

4. Don't be discouraged if you don't win all of the shows. You dog is a winner no matter what, he/she needs to put on a show for the judge at that moment..practice practice at home. Go to handling classes.

6. Make sure your show dog eats. I gave Dice McD's hamburger patty all weekend he LOVED it..lol

7. Becareful around large dogs. A Mastiff went after a Crested at the IABCA and in my handling class a Mastiff went after another Yorkie.

Long Live the Wannabes!!!
