LIVE STREAMING!!!

The Cavaliers of the South Media Committee is excited to now offer live streaming at all of our shows. The show – including SOUND – is streamed right onto the Cavaliers of the South Facebook page (www.facebook.com/cavaliersofthesouth).

What can you see and hear? EVERYTHING! A stand with an iPad is placed in a corner of the ring where the Media Committee determines will show the most action for viewers. The iPad and stand is marked with signs and/or other identifiers in a way that is clear to exhibitors but is not a distraction to the dogs in or outside the ring. This has become a very popular option for people in the US and abroad who want to be a part of our show and are not able to experience it in person. We hope you enjoy this whether at home or at the show.
