Who usually attends this show?

 

[Riven]

I am tentatively attending, hoping some animals prime up for me in the next couple months...

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

Nicole, you BETTER be here!!! :tease: It's been way too long since I've seen you and the girls!!!!

Officer Snuggler might just come to see you, too!!!

We'd love to see some new faces and exhibitors...c'mon...it'll be a FUN time!!!

 

[aznmexaggie]

I keep thinking about this show and I'd really like to make it out there. I say this every year for the CO show... It's just a month before Nationals so it will depend on how much money I have saved up... but I do want to try to make it!

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

Oh, Sumiko -- I'd love to see you, too!!! Maybe you, Pamela and Tabitha could carpool??? Make it an epic road trip??? :thumbsup:

 

[miss.lauren]

Where would you be coming from in CA? Also, What is a sanctioned show?

 

[aznmexaggie]

Shahna and I are discussing it right now (we're also carpooling together to Nationals). We would be taking I-80 all the way East. This is definitely do-able since it is a one-day show...

 

[miss.lauren]

Bump- What is a sanctioned show?

 

[aznmexaggie]

In order for a show to be sanctioned, the judge must be a sanctioned judge (experienced judge who did their training with sanctioned judges at sanctioned shows and then passed the test at a National meeting) and ECBC must know a certain amount of time in advance (honestly, I can't remember how much advance notice is needed...). A sanctioned show generally has stricter judging than a field day.

A field day, in contrast, is more lenient, a trainee judge can be a judge, and the chapter/branch/group can make some changes (such as less than 10 classes for standards if there are not a large number of standards entered, for example). A field day is a more relaxed show, often with the judge talking to the audience and allowing audience members to come up and look at the animals/help judge during the show. Field days have more of an intent to teach.

This isn't saying you can't learn at a sanctioned show but at a sanctioned show, it will be a bit more formal and competitive.

 

[miss.lauren]

Thanks Sumiko.

 

[Riven]

Okay, due to the threats I've been receiving from Officer Snuggler via Lynn's email I will be attending barring a blizzard or like scenario.

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

WOO HOO!! I kinow that Karen and her family are looking forward to meeting you and checking out some chinnies at the show...

And by the way...blizzard??? I'll have you know that Vicki and Bob Merritt and Dan Jensen and I drove through the REAL blizzard (I-70 was closed just after we made it out of town) In April of 2009 to get to Roger's Spring Show in Crawford!!! So, you can surely make it across the flatlands!!! :tease:

 

[Riven]

The flatlands are worse! EVERYTHING blows in front of you! I drive through most anything anyway... lol

 

[Riven]

Lynn, I forgot to add that by everything I think we both know that includes... tumbleweeds!

I did just get the confirmation that I'll have a tag-along! A gal that's been working with me some on learning and is planning on breeding in the future. This will be her first show and she can't wait!

I did have another question as well, is anyone planning on bringing any dust? I'd be interested in maybe 5-6 bags if so depending on cost.

 

[miss.lauren]

Oh thats cool! Who are you bringing and how old is she?

 

[Riven]

Her name is JoEllen, she is new to chins and planning on breeding in the future. She's a learning fool and works for a vet as a operation manager I believe. She told me once and I can't remember if that's the right title, lol. I'm not sure on her age, but she does have a couple young grandchildren. She's even planning ahead to build a chin building for them hopefully this summer she thought. I think she will be a wonderful breeder and is ready to learn, so anyone who's available better be ready for her to ask lots of questions!

 

[miss.lauren]

Oh that is cool! Is anyone else coming to the show from the forum?

 

[aznmexaggie]

miss.lauren, I don't know if you got my message or not but Shahna (also on the forum) and I have room for one in the car if you're on the way (we'll be taking I-80).

I also thought of one more thing that is different about sanctioned shows - the chins need to be ear-tagged.

 

[miss.lauren]

I pm'd you. Did you get that? I think I did it twice because I wasn't sure if it sent because I have been having issues with my computer. Let me know if you didn't get anything.
