Will you be showing Radar only on Friday, or on Saturday as well? I would love to see him in the ring.

I'll be showing Radar on Friday and Saturday. Not sure I'll show him on Sunday, not fond of the judge for him but I do know for Friday and Saturday I'll be showing him for sure

Another question...are spectators allowed to take pictures at the show? Is there any kind of "photo etiquette" I should be aware of?

Absolutely you can take pictures. Most don't like a flash at the grooming area as it is bright for the dogs eyes but ringside it's ok

No, unfortunately Oklahoma is a long way from where I live in Texas. I just love dog shows and even if I can't go I enjoy keeping up with show results and seeing pictures when they get posted. I hope you can make it. It is very educational and you will see many gorgeous yorkies.

Kim is a wonderful girl. She has me in stitches all the time. Such a bubbly personality too. We LOVE her and her mom to itty, bitty, pieces. LOL

I am sooooo sad I won't be there to see Emma show Tucker, but I know you will keep an eye on her for me. LOVE RADAR by the way....What a great guy you have there. Wish I could watch him, but my husband is going to video so maybe I get to see it Friday night if he can download to my iphone...Hehehe!!

I love using a video camera at the shows so I can edit the video and get some nice still shots. You can take pictures at ringside but if you get a chance after the show most exhibitors don't mind you taking pictures then.

Good Luck Mary (CJ), Mary Ann (Baxter) and Donna (Radar)!

We'll be rooting for ya even if it isn't ringside!

My dog-loving friend Anne was so excited to hear about the show. She and I will definitely be there on Saturday!

I hadn't thought about cameras. I'm so glad Cirlonde asked - I'll make sure my battery is fully charged so I can take lots of pics.

Cirlonde, are you planning to go? Anne and I plan to be there about 9:00 Saturday morning in case you'd like to meet up with us on Saturday.

[Cirlonde]

Bonnie, I haven't had a chance to confirm it with my husband but I'm pretty sure he'll want to go. If we do go, we'll probably get there after lunch on Saturday in time for the Yorkies so we may see you there!

Hi Georgie!! Good to see you here. I wish there was more show people that posted. I am so glad that E is going to the Specialty. Good luck, tell E! Tucker is looking really good. I saw his photos that Betsy shared (ones from Atlanta show). He is looking soooo good! I need to get busy with Cha - just no time with my job (with end of year). One more week and then will have time to devote and go to shows. I need to get Ci out there first.
Keep in touch and would love to see photos and or video!

Hi Tina. So nice to hear from you. I will let E know you are rooting for her. I just got a call that they are now in the room. They said they drove thru a lot of bad storms, and something about a tornado, but not sure where they saw it. I am so glad you are here. I think this site is wonderful. We must get together at one of the shows and have lunch/dinner. I miss you.
Georgie

Nothing like Texas and Oklahoma dog shows.. Walk in the hotel doors and you immediately start running into friends! Makes it even better when before you can even get out of your car, you see the most beautiful Yorkie in the world walking toward you...and on second glance....realize.... it's YOURS..!!! (and, he hasn't forgotten me...lol).. A few kisses while Mary is grabbing up Baxter and off again...not to be seen again except from a distance...lol

Hope everyone gets to come and watch..there will be some very nice dogs here this weekend!

Good luck to all!

OMG! I am glad they are okay. Tornadoes can start up at this time of the year, as we know. I remember the last time I was in OK to drop off one of my dogs to our handler and it was a frozen mess. Ice everywhere. I was glad to make it out the next day okay. But oh, what nice people/friends there.

Yes, we will have to get together. I was just looking at the show list the other day and mdh and I talking about which ones to sign up for. I know SC is a go. I miss you too!!
