We close the show when the last dog runs.  Each show can differ significantly in the number of dog entries.  So some shows will end earlier than others.  It's best to arrive earlier in the day so you can see more dogs run.  The dogs compete in height order per class so you will may see our small Novice dogs running in one ring while the tall Excellent level dogs run in the next ring. 

• Always ask before you pet a dog. The handlers (people showing dogs) spent a lot of time and energy training their dogs for the show. Never go up and just pet a dog.  Ask first.

• Wait until handlers have finished an event before asking questions. Before the show, they are focusing on their dog and getting ready for their turn in the ring. Always ask permission before petting a dog!

• Don't call out a dog's name or whistle.  You could distract the dog and cause them to be disqualified.

• Turn off your cell phone. It is a distraction to the dogs and handlers.

• Stay away from ring entrances. It is very difficult for handlers to get in and out of the rings when people are in the way of the entrance.

• Do not lean over the rings or talk to handlers when they are in the ring showing.

• Do you have small children with you? Don’t let them run up to dogs or stick their fingers and hands into crates or exercise pens. Also, it’s best to leave strollers in the car. Strollers can place a child’s face at the same level as unfamiliar dogs’ faces. Plus, a stroller can accidentally run over lots of dogs’ tails.

• Be careful where you step so you don’t step on feet, noses or tails!

• Keep food away from the ring. It is a distraction to the dogs.

• Leave your own dog at home.
