lol well I've kept many of my kits this year and they are all being held for breeding until after the show season, so I started thinking of who to show early this year
As for how many and which chins I'll be showing it will depend upon the show. I'm really hoping to have at least 5 of my own breeding in either ebonies and/or whites this year for nationals though. So I'll probably have about 15chins or so for the show. It will be the most chins I've ever shown, so grooming will be fun to say the least! heheI hope you go to York at least so that I'll see you like usual!

If my friend follows through with working at the store that weekend, yes, Brent will be coming along. Otherwise, he'll be chained to the store...
We closed last weekend to go to the MI show, and the other businesses in town had to tell me how many people were around because of the warmer weather... grrr...

Here are the details again, with the information added for meals. Be sure to email Lisa for reservations. Meals are being catered this year and you must have reservations if you want to eat. We've worked hard to keep the banquet cost down, so that everyone can join us for good food and all of the award presentations.

Me and Deb will be there!
If anyone would like anything from my store, I can bring it along to save money on shipping. Please let me know sooner rather than later though as I am really busy this month with craft show and Pet Expo prep.

well I want to go we're located in Indiana.
My chins are just babies should I not even bother bringing them? We have one that's 2 but she's a little old and than our others will be 4 months old. I don't want to enter them if they are too old/young.
