Hi Diane You asked about Mohegan Sun show before.... It was very interesting - think I will enter again next year - it was fun - dogs were unloaded near the arena area - or you could ride them on the buses from the parking lot (it was great to see this - and I did not see any on the bus that could not do it) - or you could take 'em on a long walk from the parking area to the arena - long walk is less than if you took 'em out for a walk around the block - Hope you will come up next year and join the fun - I went shopping in the stores, played the slots, and ate at the buffet - we had tons of fun.. dog show was fun also... It was easy to get to the site - unloading was well organized and I did not hear any grumbling about it - I had no problem going from the arena to the casino - all indoors - escalators were fun (no dogs allowed in the casino) or from the casino back into the arena - we were given wrist bands to go back and forth with without paying fee's - if you wanted to sit up in the seating area you could use your pass given with your entry or pay $10 - rings were small regulation size - floor was carpeted - not to slippery, although I did see one dog loose her footing on a corner but maybe she would have anyway, not sure... food was great as always ... companions were great - everyone was cordial - it was a very good day for a dog show... Congrats to the winners...jmt Joan M Tuthill Tuthill Shepherds based in CT.
