Why?
I think if you like what you do you'll be happy!
Counting money to begin with? Why?

Is it a reason not to start?

Costs of showing can vary greatly, depending on how many shows you go to, how far you travel, if you hire a handler and how fast your dog finishes. It can add up quick but it can also be very rewarding.

Is most of the expenses traveling, hotels and supplies or for the fees instead?

The entry fees usual average $25 per show so for a two day show you are just looking at around $50 for entry fees. It is a little cheaper for the puppy class. So the biggest expense is for traveling and lodging if you have to stay over night. Supplies really add up too but once you have all your supplies you are usually set for awhile. Combs, brushes, hair bows, show leads, crates, dollies to carry you stuff on, etc. can really add up in the beginning.
