Considering the distances that we normally have to travel to shows, my guys get bathed & most of their grooming done before the show day. At the show, all the handler has to do is touch ups.
I have bathed Nygel after Day 1 of the show because conditions were pretty messy & his legs, feathering got quite dirty. The first time, we were staying @ my daughter's place & the second, in a motel. Nyg's coat is VERY wash & wear & not much fussing required.
Now, Razz's coat is a different thing - he gets blowdried until he is COMPLETELY dry. But, once he's done grooming, he holds it & only minimal touchups required.
Good luck this weekend!
