I'm getting ready to put together a gift list for people and wanted to know what you'all find you need the most to get ready for the ring. Does this mean I've got the full-blown dog show bug?? (LOL) I know my family thinks I'm nuts. :0) Tina Illusion GSDs Grooming: If I could take only two things to a show, it would be a greyhound style comb and a spray bottle. Of course, there's no limit, so the van is full:) Safety: A magnet plaque guaranteeing expenses for the dogs will be covered in case of accident w/ emergency contact info on the back. Health: Aspirin for me, bene-bac for dogs who may develop loose stools, gas-x, because eventually someone will need it.
