EliteField 3-Door Collapsible Soft-Sided Dog Crate
"This crate collapsible and he doesn’t really like big dogs. If they’re bigger than him, he thinks he needs to start something. It has a curtain I can drop down to give him some privacy, so he doesn’t have to see the big dogs walk by at shows."
Mendota Products Small Slip Solid Rope Dog Leash
"Going into the ring when we run, we use a slip leash because I don’t run him with the collar on. It’s all one collared leash piece because you have to be on a leash when you come in and go out of the ring. Even though he’s small enough that I carry him in and out, it’s a rule that they have to have a collar and leash on."

FURminator Undercoat Deshedding Tool
