WELCOME TO THE DOG SHOW  

We welcome you to watch the competition and 
demonstrations at our show. 
Here are some tips to help you and your family have a safe, pleasant 
experience. Do enjoy yourself! You can pick up a 
schedule of the breeds and their 
show times at the 
Superintendent’s table or the 
catalog table. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, 
but it is best to approach exhibitors
 after they have been in the ring for judging. Join a guided tour of the show. This will help you 
understand what’s going on at the 
show. If you would like more information about any of the
 events taking place today, please ask 
at the club table or someone 
from the show committee. Avoid standing near the entrances to rings. Be extra careful in those areas 
where the dogs are waiting to enter the ring. We welcome you to watch the competition.
 The dogs and their handlers have 
worked and trained hard to be here. Please don’t do anything to distract them at ringside. Keep your child close to you and be aware of what 
he/she is doing at all times. If your child is in a stroller, keep a respectful 
distance from dogs, particularly dogs whose 
heads are at the same level as your child. Be very careful when near dogs so that you don’t run over tails or feet or bump into them. Be sure your child does not reach out to 
touch a dog without owner’s permission. Always ask permission from owners before petting a strange dog and instruct your children to ask permission before petting a dog. Don’t put your
 fingers or hand in a crate or exercise pen.
