YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Good Luck take lots of pics. Hey the I think it was Super 8 right at that interchange nearto the Show Grounds - they had big rooms I mean really really big. Try to prebook a first floor room. They also have a dog washing facility but yuck it was very basic. Nice swimming pool.. Good exercise large areas for your dogs. Your basic breakfast not much included. But the room has a microwave. Also there are picnic tables and we had lots of lovely BBQ;s there. OMG Bring your own Water !!!!!!! I can't stress enough this. That water out of the tap just KILLS the Yorkie coat. If you are flying in or something - buy either Spring or Distilled - try it out at home on your show dogs to see which works better. Bring a Deep Conditioning and I MEAN RICH THICK DEEP CONDITIONER - I use IOD - And now leave it in for 15-20 minutes - and Yes I am serious 15-20 minutes. The IOD gloss shampoo and Nutrient Rich Conditioner is a good choice. Plus for a Yorkie you can fit both into your purse Do you polish the coat? Bring your big guns out with you !!! Oh yes if memory serves me correctly - I think you could experience static from the indoor area.... Bring an anti static spray with you. I use Vellus. If I think of anything more I will update this thread. BEST OF LUCK and have a Blast!

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Also electricity might be pricey at the show grounds - not too sure - but I imagine the National Club will arrange for a Yorkie grooming area, and enough outlets for the exhibitors. Don;t forget your exhibitor entry receipts - this way you don't have to pay for entrance.

| I plan on going to watch but not sure what days I am going yet. I have never been to a Yorkie Specialty so I am looking forward to it. Purina Farms is a beautiful place.

Thank you for your well-wishes. I am quite new to showing - we finished my first show girl, Lollie, on St. Patrick's Day, 2012. Wish you could make it, but good luck at your Blackie show in MD. | ||

| Wish you could come! I always enjoy visiting with you - even though I'm always a bit squirley at shows. Hopefully I'll see you at the Run for the Roses in Louisville in June! |

| When I determine which day I'll be there I'll let you know. I'm trying to figure out which day would be the best to go.
