This is one of my favorite shows! There is ample grooming space, lots of vendors, and even enough room for spectators. As always, strollers are not the best idea, but this show is set up better than some for spectators. Food typical arena prices, but excellent. A foldup chair and a small cooler are good ideas if you are going to be there all day. There is a heart clinic available for exhibitors to have their dog's examined, a special junior showmanship clinic and judging seminars also. If you only go to one show this cold winter, this would be a good pick ! Indian Hill will be represented in the Lhasa ring with two entries this year. See you there :)

Central Iowa Kennel Club will be hosting a show on January 18 and 19 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. I have not been to this show, so can't give you an opinion on it...there is an entry cap of 1200 dogs due to space limitations. Entries are supported entries from the Midwest Labrador Retriever Club and the Midwest Toy Fox Terrier club both days, so if either of these breeds interests you , it would be a good bet you'd have a chance to see a lot of them here.
Cyclone Country Kennel Club of Ames will be hosting a show with obedience and rally only on Friday and conformation and obedience on Saturday and Sunday 2/14, 2/15, and 2/16. Take your sweet heart to a show for the weekend! I have not been to this show either, maybe next year....
