Not many open shows charge an entrance fee unless it is an agricultural show or championship show but if they do there will be someone collecting money at the door. It is usually only a couple of £. Catalogues are sometimes at the door or at the Secretary's table, if you are unsure just ask as most exhibitors will have ordered a catalogue so will know where to go. In the catalogue you will find the different breeds listed, their judges and which dogs are entered under them. Have a wonder round there is usually a list of breeds in each ring
and sometimes a list at the entrance. Grab a seat as they go quick
If you find where the cocker people are they will usually be close to the ring they are being judged in. It's quite informal really, have fun
If you want to talk to people try to approach them after they have been in the ring and shown their dog as it can be quite difficult to talk to people when getting your dogs ready for the ring, especially if you have just got that last hair to lie flat and then someone comes up for a full on cuddle (Cleo only does this type of cuddle
)
