Took one of my shihtzu to exemp show on monday, arrived to find it was being held in a not so very big beer garden of a pub, if it had been for dogs it may have been ok but there was live music and a lot of other noisy attractions, i found a nice quiet corner to set up and then this daft women came and tied two ponies right next to me so to get to the ring i would have had to squeeze behind them would not have been so bad but she walked off and left them that was the last straw i packed up and left no way was i going to try and show my dog under those conditions it would not have been fair on the poor little thing, quite a few other people left too.

funny how ive gone from a severe dressing down over an innocent remark at which i did appologise for to being ignored why is this i wonder

I dont think you are being deliberately ignored ...maybe people just have nothing to add to your comment?

Yes Mel thats right, no comment, if you are not happy, you don't stay. Exemption shows are like that, I took umbridge at being asked to pay £6 to even enter the show ground with 3 dogs for the show, when there way nothing to say there was an entry fee on the flyers, so I left. Ja:)kie
