I HIGHLY doubt that I can go, given the distance from home and the time of day, but… can B's that aren't participating be brought along, just for fun?

[sharronhurlbut]

I don't know about that..contact Jordan and ask.
I do know that EBC is very much wanting to get "just folks" into lure
coursing, rally, lots of fun things for pet owners to do with their b's.
I have to say they have also been wonderful in supporting basenji rescue.
So, as you can tell, I am a big fan of this club.
Nice folks as well!
Do try to go.
Its just good fun…

I think that all would be welcome at the EBC event… regardless of the type of event or if you are entered or not....

[sharronhurlbut]

Oh, Pat, everyone is welcome, but I do know that in some events..dogs who are not entered shouldn't be on the grounds.
Don't they have that rule at most AKC dog shows?
Anyway, if I am wrong, please correct me.
I want everyone to come.

Even at AKC shows.. people bring puppies or un-entered dogs…. There is a difference about being on the grounds and the "show limits" which means the area where judging is taking place...

And for lure trials... no one even cares about those things...

Thanks Pat. I don't being my dogs to the EBC specality, because its too hot and I am not set up for dogs ring side. I go every year to support the club and talk to folks about b rescue.
So, I am not up on what is ok and what isn't re taking dogs on the grounds.
