I took Lexi to our first show today, and i think it might just be our last, don't think where cut out for it..lol

She stood ok until the judge came to look her over, she then kept turning around, and then showing her move, well rubbish, all she wanted to do was smell the ground as she ran as the other dogs were very interesting. So she didnt look good at all.
Needless to say we didn't get placed.
A friend took a few pics for me, thankfully just of her standing.lol

She looks lovely on the pics - and it is all just practice, the more shows you take her too then the better she will be

We have an Irish Water Spaniel that would'nt cower and bark when the judge came near, after lots of work, he appeared at Crufts this year!!

Do you go to ringcraft classes?? Thats what my Mum did with ours, it was a great help!!

 

[ladylisa]

No i don't go to any classes, to be honest theres nothing around here, i looked on the inernet i would quite like to do agility but couldn't find anything local, and i don't drive yet so can't travel.

She looks a lovely shape. Don't give up!

To be honest you would probably both benefit from ring craft classes, it will get her used to the judge going over her etc. Perhaps if you rang the Weimy club they could point you in the direction of somewhere local?

Re agility, have you looked on www.agilitynet.com ? they have an A-Z of clubs across the country

Thanks echodomino i will have a look and see if there is anything in my area.

Thing is if there is ever a show near me i can never get to find out!
