ADBA show question

After investing in some brightly-colored, wide 1.5" collars for my girl for ADBA stuff, I learned that it is actually more beneficial to have a narrower collar that blends into the dog's coat. They say that a wider collar will distort the dog's neck and make it appear short. And I'm guessing that the bright colors draws attention away from the dog?

Next time I show my dog in ADBA, I'm going with this gear. Kinda hard to see from the pics, but its a 1" leather collar with deerskin inside, and a 4' leather leash.




Although I'd love to show up in my UKC gear just once and give some folks a heart attack. ROTF!



Just kidding, of course.

 

No there are no dress codes or anything and it is a relaxed environment but you'll get alot more respect wearing similar attire to the judge . He took the effort to dress a certain way showing honor and respect to the dogmen of old . Remember all the old pics you see of the handlers wearing suits ? I saw Irish Jerry judge in a suit and tie . If two dogs are even in the judges eye you can bet he'll give the blue ribbon to the handler dressed with class over the guy in flip flops and a wife beater .

 

Does anyone have a web address were I can get info on either one of these shows? Thanks

Never mind, found it...

 

does anyone know any cheap motels in texarkana that except pets!?
