Things I factor into the expense is the overall quality of the show. Judges, prizes, possible turnout. For a small show I might look into doing a one day entry of $50-65 depending upon how the classlist is split, but for a destination show I could go as high as $100 (although I would wince at it!).

I do factor in travel expenses. I like places I can fly to more or less directly. And I like to see areas that have available food and lodging. I know that sounds obvious but I’ve been at a lot of small shows in even smaller towns. :)

The Pinking Shear gene? :P

Only when it’s relevant for breed or explaining an OF factory finish as something other than what the model is marketed as is my vote. Only using Breyer marketing designations…yikes. Show me the gene for peppercorn.

I’m a horrible person. :) I did see the intent of Kingdom of the Ponies! and now I want to make a painting of that :P

So anyone else picture Merrylegs in bondage gear whenever I see “Ponydom?”
