I agree that it would probably be easier to do it at a regional show, but my
concern about that venue is who would you really be reaching? In my 35 years
of dog shows I can honestly say that there are very few times that we see total
strangers to the breed come to the specialty shows. Yes, it happens but most
of the time I see these folks taken by the hand and adopted by someone with
experience anyway. I don't know, I think that doing it at a specialty show is
easier, but is it really necessary? Cynthia

The very reason you told us about is why I think it would work at the smaller
regional specialties. Don't make a huge production out of it (same that for
great booth that Sheryl set up at Eukanuba :-), but a banner ($100) a couple of
poles, literature (rocks for the papers) a table, a couple of chairs and shade.
The person designated could walk over to somebody and say they needed to take a
break and the relief is within glaring distance:-)
Who would be willing to get this started...pitch the idea? (NO! I'm so over
my head in what I do that anymore and I definitely would drown!)

Meet the breed booths are a good way to promote our breed and do qualify under
the AKC qualifications for continuing to hold shows. I am not sure if regional
shows are the way to go and think that all breed shows work better...a bigger
draw.
