| I wouldn't have a clue about showing or breeding. I guess I am just an over protective mommy. We always travel in our crates, they are buckled in by the car seats. I have water proof little pouches attached to each of their crates with their names, ages, phone number, vet and medical info, and what food they eat, and of course any medical info that is important. In the other pouch I put the info for the vet/groomer. If they need shots, meds, bath, groom, etc. In the rare occasion I am not the one who takes them I don't want any mix ups or confusion on who needs what. I guess I am just crazy but I can't help it.

| Brooklynn, Thank you for your posting! *** You know what? I was at Westminster …just as a spectator! I meet the ppl whom I like a lot!”…(not a Yorkie ppl) Anyway! See the situation! Someone who is petting the dog accidentally/or not… (just before the ring) stepped on the dog feet… you know the reaction of dog for that… My friend, her husband and I are about to… But! The handler-breeder, who was showing the dogs all over the Europe was so calm… She even calmed us… She say: “If you can’t handle the situation like that, just stay home! Don’t scare the dog!” I was REALLY surprised at first… But she is so right! Still I need to process that, but gush how much do we need to learn! Geee…how much we need to learn! Brooklynn, once again! Thank you for your posting! |

If some one is about to take Ur dog they'll take it with the crate... *** I think the trust is a key! You should try to make friends (or I should say "the team") and enjoy the show! | |

| [QUOTE=Elle;3048359]What do you mean Gemy? Whenever possible? You don't mean driving to show them without crates? This doesn't make sense. They can't run all over a motor home, car or unattended in a hotel room. You use crates the whole time.[/QUOTE My dogs always travel in crates but some people put them in doggie car seats with a harness...but again, I prefer the crates much safer in my opinion |

| [quote=Brooklynn;3049579]I use both. But, when traveling to shows they are in crates. At home, bopping around town, I use the car seats. I love them and so do my dogs, actually very safe, they are double harnessed in. The car seat is fasted in place by the seat belt and the dog harnessed and buckled in. As you say my show dogs are my pets.

I've seen some bypass a crate if they prep off site. The distance to/from show site from hotel. While some may say 1 mile, 200 miles, what's the difference? There is a difference. No freeways etc. We have our own perception of safety. Unless you are referring to car seats that are cutting edge---unbeknown to me. I've had two types of car seats. One a bucket type that hangs on the head rest. It has a popular screen print of the breed on it. I never put it in the car. The other is a foam type that sits in the seat. It has a pull out storage drawer in it with a black cover. This one holds two dogs. They can jump out of it/hanging from the side. People rave about the later one. Both junk. There may be must of it than I'm aware of. Everyone parks all over the place. | |

| Hummmm. Show people not crating toys. News to me. I don't know anyone that transports this breed by way of car seats. I've seen some bypass a crate if they prep off site.

Just as in babes in baby seats, if used properly, they keep them pretty safe. I've been in a car accident with my dogs in a crate......even harnessed in tightly they were jostled around and one had to be taken to ER because of injuries caused by bein jostled around. But, just because one chooses to use a car seat over a crate doesn't make them undeducated......at least the dog isn't lose in the car......

thank you I do have friends, and I do enjoy showing. Unlikely they will take the crate as it is Locked up to large crate. That is the point of locking to the Large crate contains a large guard dog that would not sit quietly by when a stranger comes to their crates. I guess someone could saw through the lock - again it takes time and lots of noise. Or maybe they could lift 130lbs of dog and trundle out with him, and the Razz.

The whole purpose of this thread is to be on the look out & not to be so trusting.

I'm not back peddling on it. IMO a show home should be well educated on transportation. I can't imagine a toy, especially a puppy being in a car seat on a freeway. JMHO. | |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Yes .. this is true .. which is why I lock the crates when I can't be around. I think there is a balance point we each have, if I felt so afaird that given reasonable cautions, locking, trusted friends looking out, even the mere act of showing would entail a high risk to my dogs or myself, then I would simply stop showing.
