The further from home the show is, the earlier your ring time on the first
day of the weekend, and the later on the last day of a cluster.
If you are running a little late, all the dogs ahead of you at the scheduled
time will not show up making your breed and class first.
If you are on time, every single dog will show up for their moment in the
ring and there will be pictures taken after each breed.
If you are showing two dogs alone, there will be no ringside crating
and no grooming space within eyeshot of the ring.
Likewise, there will be no one you know who is not busy at
the time you need a dog held ring side.
If you are showing two breeds, no matter how varied they are
in breed or group, their ring times will work out to coincide whether or
not they look that way on the schedule.
When showing two breeds the two rings will be as far apart as possible,
with the other ring preferably not visible from the first one and with its
entrance on the opposite side of any aisle you can go down to get there.
Ring locations are always as far as possible from where your
car or grooming space is.
To go along with that, whatever door you must enter the building by, your
ring entrance is located as far as possible from that location.
Bonus points are given for supers who put you on the second floor with at
least one breed, with only one very slow elevator available,
which is being held at the top by someone who is chatting with a friend as
they leave for the day.
Dog rules (this is for the dogs)
No matter how short the ride, all ring preparation done at
home can be 'accidentally' undone in a crate on the way to a show.
The show ring is an excellent place to show off newly discovered phobias to
such things as duct tape, mat material, funny hats, rattling bracelets, or
squeaking shoes. Act terrified and/or abused if your owner asks a stranger
to
hold your leash before going in the ring. Pretend you do not know your owner
and absolutely adore the stranger when your owner returns for you.
