PT'ers, if you're coming to Chicago in February for the IKC show, make some noise and let's see what we can arrange. I've never been to a dog show, although I love to watch the Westminster Kennel Club on USA Network every winter. I'd enjoy going with people who know what's going on and can explain it to me (newbie)!
