I aksed questions of not only the show secritary but of the a guy I know from the local all breed club who was on the show commitie. Not one person gave me the info that helped me find where I needed to be and what was given was incorrect. They where supost to have a new exibitors orientation and when I tried to find out where that was was when I was really treated badly. Knowing that I was oviously new they should have gone out of their way to help or find someone who could. Never did find that orientation.
Yes I agree that there is a differnce between dogs shows and horse show but the one thing that should be the same is there should be people who can help the newbies. I know if you want into the show office at a horse show and said "hay I am new to all this and I need some info and help" 98% of all shows would find you someone to help or they would take the time to answeer any questions you have. Heck I have gone into the show office at large AQHA and NRHA shows and have had questions and have had people in the office spend 10-15 min or more helping me get things correct. There is a central office at horse shows that have people who know what is going on in every aspect of the show. I did not see that at this dog show. No one knew what was going on. The right hand did not know what the left hand was doing. More over I am not sure any one of the fingers on the same hand knew what was going on.
Also I am in NW Ohio and I have tried to find a Corgi club close to me and the best I can find is about 3 hours. There is a Golden Club and I also have a golden pup and there is the all breed club here that has their own building. However you can not join if you are not sponsered and you have to be heavly involved and with everything ealse I have going on that may not be posible. I am a life member of both NRHA and AQHA. Pay your dues and get all the info you will ever need.
