Best of Breed OES competition in Calgary 2009

Is the January 31, 2009 Best of Breed OES show in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, open to the public (Those who dream of having an OES.) If so do you need tickets have have been unable to find out if this is something that is ticketed and sells out fast. (being that I love OES I can't understand why it would not sell out fast if ticketed)

If it is open to viewing is this also a good time to check out breeders and sort thru the possibilities of who to inquire with about their puppies?

What would be some tips for attending a show? I have never been and I am sure that there are some unwritten rules of behaviour for people, not just dogs.

Thank you for your help.

Sometimes you pay at dog shows, others you do not. Usually it is never a sell out unless it's a big show like Westminster.

Yes, it is a good time to talk to breeders and other OES fanciers. Usually the OES people show up at least 2 hours before ring time to groom, so talking while grooming is good, except for the last 15 minutes or so before ring time as it's a little stressful.

Usually we would rather you not pet the dogs until after we show so the hair doesn't get messed up. Always ask before petting someone's dog.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my post I appreciate your advice, I went to the website and looked it over found some more info on shows. No worries the last 15 mins I think I will try to be out to watch the competition. Kind of makes me think of my kids and getting them out the door but I bet the dogs listen better. :lol:
