RVs & Motor Homes & Mobile Homes are used by a lot of them as well as those who also show other animals, such as horses etc. I know some of the horse trailers now have beautiful AC & Heating systems as well as the human living quarters big enough for a few dogs as well as children and/or the horses behind. If that is what you do for a living, you are on the road most of the time and the facilities nowadays are great. Like most, I did some traveling with my dogs but had a few really good Handlers as well. It's fun if you can go to the shows and be with them. I'll never forget the National in Cincinnati I was with a friend and we had a big van with 10 crates & 5 GSDs and we actually had a room on the, I think 18th floor of a hotel in downtown where we had the crates stay there for when we weren't at the show and the other 5 stayed in the van. It was fun but, we DID stay with the dogs 24/7 and that really is what it is all about. I did the same with the horses as best I could to be sure they were OK too.

How do you fit a dozen dogs in the hotel? What other option do the big handlers have? -- Jackie Marcato Shepherds Where beauty is found in function http://www.jackieshort.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
