FOR THE SHOW DOG

Be a Sportsman

When attending a dog show, use your common sense. You wouldn’t leave your children unattended, and so you shouldn’t leave your dog unattended either. Do not leave its crate or water bowl unattended, and do not leave your dog in a too hot or too cold vehicle while waiting your turn in the ring. It’s Just Common Sense.
