I'm gonna beg Jim Ritterspach to let me watch with him in Ohio too since I have nothing old enough to show at the moment. I can see him rolling his eyes at me already lol.
Whoo to the pizza! What about ice cream or cake?
No. Having said that it also depends on the judge. Many like to talk about the top animals and why they placed, especially if it was a difficult decision.
I think..... I'm going to try and talk Ronda into stopping by Costco and get some poppyseed muffins.
Depending on show size, I'd say roughly 70% of the chins will be for sale - particularly males. Often you have to ask.
Examining the chin can be done before and after the show. For the lineage you'd have to ask the owner. Only the dob, breeder and color are on the show card, and the breeder is hidden.
Correct, nobody can go behind the tables once it starts. There are often chins on the front tables for sale that you can view at any time.
Probably not. My recommendation is to pick your animal after the show, bring it back up to the judges and tell them what you want to do with it. They're happy to go much more in depth and even help you find the ideal mate for it.
Fur slip, peed on, babies born, fungus, chewing, and there are always escapees too.

If you want to experience showing a chin yourself, email Ronda ([email protected]) and she'll send you a list you can pick from. She'll bring the chin and you can groom it and enter it in the show.
If you want to learn how to groom, step right up, we've got fuzzy bodies for you.
That's because nobody knows how long it'll last until it's done. You can come and go during the show. You could probably get someone's phone # and call the night before to see how many animals are checked in, that'll give a rough estimate of time but they always go over.
