There are proper etiquettes that should be followed at dog shows:
- Un-entered dogs are not allowed on show grounds
- Always ask the owner or handler's permission before petting a dog
- Baby strollers are allowed in spectator areas but not in the aisles or entrances
- Spectator seating and amenities will be found outside the rings away from entrances
Summary
The judging of individual breeds is done from the morning until early afternoon, followed by Group judging, where the dog awarded Best of Breed represents that breed in the individual Group competition. The first place winners of the seven Groups then compete for Best In Show at the end of the event. You are encouraged to cheer for your favorites! The dogs enjoy the attention, and work even harder to applause.
