In the end the Hungarian Kennel Club got green light. A lot of time and energy was spent, but the case had a reversed effect.

In very short time no less then dogs were entered for the European title and another were entered for the specialties shows. All this took place in only 3 days. In Hungary had already organized the European Dog Show with an entry of dogs and in it had the honour to hold the World Dog Show in conjunction with Austria.

I was a big challenge this time as never before such a number of dogs and handlers needed to be hosted and a team of judges to be invited.

Although the area and the halls were large enough for such an event, the infrastructure was not enough to receive such a number of cars. There was only one two-way road leading to the halls and parking places and this caused a massive bottle neck in the morning and evening resulting in hours of cueing.

Many exhibitors, aware of the possible problems, still heavily underestimated the problem and lost hours, blocked in traffic. No police to guide all this, no security able to handle the problems, nothing. Many people were desperate. Some travelled thousands of kilometres to end up in a cue, less then a few kilometres from the halls. As if this was not enough, once arrived at the vast showground, there was little or no information available and again hardly anybody from the organization that spoke a few words of English or German.

Some halls were far apart, as were the rings for the breed specialties. Exhibitors were expected to run around in search for their ring. Once arrived in a hall it was even there often a question of good luck, as the ring numbers were not ordered in the most logical way but numbered in rows of two rings and that could cause serious confusion.

On Saturday, the only rainy day, I met a man, desperately standing in the rain with his once groomed dog in his hands, almost bursting out in tears, begging me to help him show the way. In the evening the same problems started over gain in the other direction, sometimes even worse as every driver needed to pay cash before leaving the parking.

If every 50 cars there is someone who is out of cash and needs to look for someone to help him, he holds up the cue and before you know you are stuck again for hours. A better option was the train or subway as there was a stop right at the entrance of the showground.

But it is no excuse to say that in the communistic age there were hardly any cars and that train or subways was a better choice. Exhibitors not only have dogs with them, but also a lot of things for grooming and other stuff. And if you come from another country the train is no option anymore.

This only counts for the visitors but not for the exhibitors. Most of this could have been solved with the help of the police and well trained security people and with tickets to leave the parking place instead of cash money. On the showground one big map right after the entrance, indicating all the rings and a red dot to show where you were would have helped enormously.

Simple solutions can prevent enormous problems. Once on the showground and installed the problems were over. The halls were vast and could house big rings. Inside some of them the light could have been better, but this we see in other places too. It was clean too and there was enough space to walk the dogs on the green lawn in between the halls, something that was certainly much appreciated by the dogs.

On Saturday it was different due to the rain, but at least the dogs could have a walk outside, and the whole weekend the outside temperatures were good to very good.

The bright and spacious main hall was reserved for the stand holders and the main ring. As 4 October, World Animal Day, was one of the show days, special attention was paid to the different Hungarian Animal Rescue Organizations, who could have a stand and the show also welcomed schools on Friday for free!

During the event one pavilion was reserved for an International Cat and pet show. The main ring was covered with a blue carpet and properly fenced.

On one long side was the public gallery. One short side was for the press and at the other end two big prejudging rings were located. A good idea as one is usually not enough for events like this. Judges have more time this way to have a better look at the dogs and also more space to make them run. The positive effect was there, as no time was lost in the main ring and the time schedule was well respected, notwithstanding the delay due to the cues in the morning. There was even time enough to bring not only the veterans, but also the babies and puppies in the main ring.

This was certainly one of the better ideas. As usual several demonstrations and presentations were held in the main ring. I was positively surprised to see, for the first time in my life, a PAR-agility competition, Agility for disabled people. Both master and dog enjoyed the competition and the public was clearly moved. The Press was not so very happy. They were seated on one short end of the main ring and it was very difficult to make any proper photos during judging.

There was no podium in the main ring and the winners were lined up in front of the judges. Most handlers use to hold their dogs on their left making almost impossible for the photographers to take a picture of the winning dogs in the main ring. They needed to do their photo shoot outside the ring in the photo corner.

It was reserved for the Press only but usually occupied by exhibitors taking photos of their dogs on the podia. It can be so simple if we only take a look at the way Press facilities are organized for Football.

A walking line around the main ring between two fences, reserved for Press only, is the most effective solution.

Thus a minimum of security people is needed; no interference from the public and all photographers can walk around the ring without disturbing the program.
