Multi-Day Show Circuit Michele Wrath SunnyOaks Dalmatians
Over the past several years we have moved from the model of a 2-day usually on a weekend dog show to the multiple day mega cluster event. For those who subscribe to the tenant that you can never get enough of a good thing, you are in luck. The multiple day circuits seem to be here to stay. Depending on your perspective, the multi-day circuit is either the best invention since indoor plumbing or the bane of every owner handler’s existence. I know, some of you are saying how could the multiple day circuit be a bad thing? After all, you can travel to one location, set up for multiple days, and often at least double the number of times you have to win. On the surface this all sounds great, and often it is. Certainly you use less gas and with today’s economy we’d all agree that’s a good thing. Remember this when you get to the afternoon of Day 5. Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing! The multi-day circuit has its own rhythm. The first days of the show are generally quiet, especially if the show starts mid-week. The show building can feel half-empty and there is still ample room in the grooming area to move around. If the show cluster offers day of show crating, this area looks abandoned as folks are still generally working at their day jobs. And the number of non-show folks wandering around is almost nil. This will all change by the weekend, when there will barely be room to move dogs from one ring to the next. The judges are optimistic about what new star they might discover, the dogs are freshly bathed and groomed, and energy levels are high as owners and handlers busily calculate the possible point accumulation should the
cluster go well. It’s Day 1 and the starting entry is small. For the person trying to get major points on class animals, it’s probably not going to happen on Day 1 or 2. In fact, sometimes it’s hard to keep the entry large enough for a single point. Those entering for the sake of a major probably stayed home that day, and for the stalwart entrant who shows up no matter what, it can be a very expensive fun match, but good practice nonetheless. Not much changes in the specials entry. The dogs in contention are there from the start; the only thing that changes is the point accumulation. Day 2 arrives. The class entry may have picked up a bit, but there is still plenty of room in the building. The exercise area for the dogs is still relatively clean. Hope still springs eternal for the cluster. After all, only one day of judging has taken place, and depending on your perspective and mostly on the results of the first day, the judge was either brilliant or an absolute idiot, and life and Day 2 of the dog show goes on. By the end of the day you’ve been to all the vendors, have a good idea of what’s good and what’s not at the food concession, and have scoped out enough of the local restaurants to know what your options are. It’s Day 3. Hump Day. The building is starting to feel full. The 3-dayers have arrived with their dogs and their grooming tables and chairs. It now requires a modicum of skill to maneuver through the grooming area and out to the ring. The class entry is either just at or approaching a major. Heaven help the person who stayed home thinking they could wait till the weekend. If the major was

drove up in her very large show van, jumped out of the van with her medium sized Sporting breed entry, and raced into the building to show her dog. So much for handicaps!
All remaining space has been cordoned off by what used to be the purview of crime scenes and construction sites – yellow hazard tape and orange traffic cones. I am surprised that an enterprising show vendor has not added these two now seeming to be essential items to their inventory. Along with self-rinse, white chalk and hairspray, how would a handler get through a weekend without them?
It’s now Day 5 and even the judges are tired. It’s your last chance to either break the curse of the circuit or to cap off a great string of wins. If you show in the morning, you can get on the road by noon. For those making it to the groups or showing in the afternoon, no such luck. You’re here for the duration. Walking in the designated doggie area has now become an exercise in dexterity, as even with an endless supply of plastic bags, some folks just can’t seem to clean up after their dogs. At the group ring you start paying more attention to what the handlers are wearing and less attention to the dogs. The ringside critique sounds more like an episode of What Not To Wear than an evaluation of breeding stock.
Our favorite episode with the orange traffic cones occurred at a recent circuit that we attended. It was Day 4, mid-day and as I swung around the building to park my car, my husband was standing in a premier space – that was – amazing to me – unoccupied. After I parked the car he showed me the stack of traffic cones that he had neatly put to the side. Someone had been holding or blocking – again, depending on your perspective – this parking slot for their sole use. After deciding that insurance would indeed repair any damage done to my vehicle by an irate exhibitor, I unloaded my dog and went in to the show. When I returned to the car, I found an intact vehicle with only a note as evidence that the cone owner had been by. The note was brief and to the point – Had I no consideration for the fact that this space was reserved by someone who had a handicap and could I in the future be more considerate! If the person was indeed handicapped I felt truly bad, but also wondered why they weren’t parking in the designated handicapped parking area, of which there were ample spaces available. The next day my husband decided to satisfy his curiosity – and hopefully relieve his conscience regarding the phantom cone owner. He happened to be outside walking a dog when the owner of the cones
And finally it’s over. You pack up your gear, load up your vehicle, stop to get gas and then head for the freeway onramp that eventually leads home. The difficulty of the drive often correlates directly with how successful the circuit has been. Having a traveling companion helps the time go by, and the second best thing is a cell phone. Win or lose, it’s great to have someone to share the experience with. Some time late in the evening or very early in the morning you get home. Essentials get taken out of the vehicle, dogs get exercised and put to bed and you settle in for some much needed sleep. The next morning, after a strong cup of coffee and a rough calculation of vacation days remaining, something amazing happens. You log onto the computer and enter another dog show!
Happy Showing!

Second CHANCES My husband Ed and I began our association with Second Chances Dalmatian Rescue as volunteers in November 2009 after the passing of our 15 year old Dalmatian, Frickles. We had purchased Frickles from a breeder when she was 8 weeks old and even after all those years, we still longed for more time with her. It was less than two weeks after her passing that we decided to become involved in fostering Dals with Second Chances. Almost immediately, we were asked to foster Sparkey (a Dal from Michigan) who was only 8 months old. We had been caring for Frickles, as you would care for a geriatric patient for more than a year and suddenly we felt like we were operating a day care center when Sparkey came to live with us. It was a big change for us. But, Sparkey was a Dalmatian in need and we wanted to be there to help him. Upon meeting Sparkey and on the 2 hour ride home we fell in love with Sparkey and knew we just couldn’t let him go. So, after several days, we decided to adopt him. He is a one year old rambunctious male Dalmatian with so much love to give. He loves to pose for pictures and wants all of your attention.
He has completed obedience training; graduated first in his class and is going on to Kindly Canines training to be a therapy dog. In our eyes, Sparkey is an amazing success story of a dog that went from living in a crate 12 hours each day with very little human contact to a handsome, loving, and extremely intelligent member of our family. In February 2010, we accepted another Dal into our home as a foster, Starsky. He was the product of a divorce in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and needed a home. Starsky arrived at our home on February 13th . The two Dals instantly became buddies although they have two completely different personalities. Each one has so much love to give. After only 5 weeks in our home, we received a phone call from a party interested in adopting Starsky, because they saw his picture on the Second Chances adoption website. We just could not let him go. So, oops we did it again! We adopted our second foster. That’s twice we have “failed” at fostering. However, we do hope to foster again. Maybe the third time will be the charm and we will be able to let the foster dog go to his forever home if he is fortunate enough to have someone interested in adopting him. Whether you foster or adopt, these Dalmatians have more to give you in every way imaginable than you have to give them. Become involved in your local shelter or rescue group.You will be blessed many times over. Not only are the dogs terrific, the individuals involved in shelter and rescue have hearts of gold when it comes to these animals.
E Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.com
When you are ready to accept the lifetime commitment of caring for a dog, please consider fostering or adopting from a shelter. Adult dogs are already house trained and are more mature than puppies. And, the adult dog population looking for homes, outnumbers the young and middle aged dogs seeking their forever homes. Contact your local shelter and inquire about what you can do to help meet their needs. The World Wide Web has a wealth of information about rescue groups across the United States. For more information on Second Chances Dalmatian Rescue, our website is www.secondchancesdalrescue. com. As a footnote, several of the Dalmatians featured in the live musical of 101 Dalmatians touring the United States were rescues from Second Chances. On the April 7, 2010 morning segment of Fox & Friends, the Dalmatians were featured and it was mentioned that they came from Second Chances and will be available for adoption once the musical ends.
