LizT Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just wondering if anyone knows what the deal is with regards to 'setting up"? Are we under cover ie. Horse tie up stalls, do we need Gazebos etc? Noticed that Saturday is an 8.00 am ringstart. Yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's out in the open on grass. There is a grand stand that some people set up on but last time I seen trolleys with terrified dogs in them rolling down the big steps. If you set up there, please be careful!! I think there was also a bit of undercover space but I would be taking the gazeebo anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizT Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Can anyone tell me a little more about these shows - which breeds are likely to be there? I imagine there will be a sprinkling of all the usual suspects!! (ie. Most breeds would probably have some representation, though I don't think entries are very big??)

Dellcara Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 organisers must be disappointed with the overall entry..... Saturday under 600 dogs and I think about 100 extra on Sunday... not great for "metropolitan" shows !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can remember the Expo has never really had big numbers. Many won't go as the don't like the venue as it's small and full of public people wandering around. I love it and was dissapointed when the stopped it! The shopping was always amazing, I always went home broke!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pet Expo 2005 was my 2nd ever show LOL (and my first champ show ;) ), and have been ever year since barring last year when it was not on. Would have entered this year if it weren't for pups. However hoping to come down for a wander (and to empty my bank account :D ). I always had a great time and picked up heaps of bargains!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Showing will start BEFORE the public even get in?? Mixed emotions about that! LOL ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappiemum Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think we should be on after 10am - given that we have to get up to L in the alphabet, there are usually cattle dogs, Australian kelpies, collies (smooth and rough) and a variety of other breeds before we get in - which is great, since I'm always running late for these things! We're on both Sat and Sunday - no show on the Friday though. And Boof will love cuddles (so will Sohvi, but she may just want to puppy wrestle)!
