The first (and last) show I took Java to was a local AKC show in Morristown, NJ (20 min from home). I didn't expect to be allowed to bring her in, but when I asked before paying the entrance fee I was told it was ok - she was just over 6 months. I was, however, asked to have her leashed to her regular collar, so I just slipped the training collar into my purse. We sat in the stands in front of the Dobe ring, not too close so as to be a distraction. She was surprisingly good, maybe because she had been exercised and fed a bit, and she sat in my lap and fell asleep.
Not sure I would have brought her to a show unless it was close to home. Had her travel crate in the back just in case she wasn't ready to sit still for the 1 1/2 hrs we spent there.
