The showing thread

[druid]

We'd be delighted to see you again, hopefully I'll have my little GLP by then (although by my estimations I will need to qualify at Manchester).

There was one GLP in the Working HPR class!

 

[EllieBeast]

I’m keeping everything crossed you do very exciting!

Oooh I was just looking at the results and looks like the GLP didn’t place, I wonder who it was!

I saw your potential breeders on Friday, we were talking about the hopeful litter to be.

We finally met at Crufts in person and were approved

Phew (I don’t think there was ever a chance that you wouldn’t be approved )

Thinking about maybe having a little go at showing my parent's Yorkie, but we're not big fans of the hairy look, and he's much too adventurous to be allowed long hair anyway. Would we be penalised badly for it? And if not, anyone know how total beginners can get into showing?

 

[druid]

He would need to be in full coat to show, I believe. The Kennel Club do have some "Have A Go" shows at various shows around the country. Details on their website

No point then, he loves adventuring too much to make it worth the hassle

How about fun and companion shows. There are Facebook groups for these so you can find ones local to you. No need to enter in advance and plenty of classes to enter both pedigree and novelty

Fatty took his first CACIB this weekend towards his International title at the Paddy's day shows (he has his Junior International title). Nice to see so many UK and Continental exhibitors back over visiting.

Also booked our Crufts accommodation for 2025....with kennels!

 

[Patterdale]

Ooh I need to book mine!!

I’ve just entered National Terrier, Birmingham, SKA and Windsor. Touring the country for the scenic venues

What do you guys do with your cards/rosettes? Erik has an embarrassing number of frillies considering he’s never actually beaten another dog in the ring
So although they’re technically attendance awards I feel like I should do the proud parent thing and display them somehow- maybe in the downstairs loo

BINGO! amazing, thanks so much I’ll have a scout through and message you on the page to order

I make my own rosette holders (not fancy and beautiful like Satinbazes!) A dowel, some embroidery thread and carpet grip underlay

Ah good idea- You guys collect a lot more rosettes than we will

I like the idea of decorating the loo with them need to get frames for the crufts cards though, they can live somewhere more visible (despite also being attendance awards )

Beginners mistake...get them from Birdbrook or Dalsetter on the day! Crufts ones go in our hallway, everything else is in the dog room/back hall way.

Ah, rookie error I’ll just shove it in a drawer and try to remember to buy a frame next year- should probably frame Ivy’s 2nd place one from 2020 too

 

[satinbaze]

Birdbrook frames can be ordered online. I think award boards also do them

I think all 3 sell them online. I just refuse to pay the extra postage and vat into Ireland!

Yayy a showing thread!!!
I used to show my American Cockers but my last Yank is 9 and a half and blind, bless him. He was an exceptionally great dog in his hey day but I now have a black and white English Cocker to show. He's just turned 6 months and has his first show on Sunday
My Harlequin Great Dane was supposed to be shown but he has very strong opinions on that He treats it like a huge game

So anyway, this is Sergei...

2nd (of two ) in Minor Puppy at the breed show today. He was a PITA between auto sitting which it new and being a fidget every time the judge was looking but standing still and square when his back was turned Lots of learning for me, he most definitely feeds off my nerves.

 

[Patterdale]

Mine was 2nd out of 2 this weekend too. BOB at Crufts to LAST in one fell swoop. Nothing like showing to keep your feet on the ground
The dog that beat her is beautiful though.

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Mine didn't get to the show he was entered in because he got the sh1ts

All judges have their type

We came 4th/last yesterday in an AVNSC class but lots learnt and lots taken away.

He was soooo much better with his stacking and on the table. We had no doing the splits with his back legs and very little fidgeting

It was his first time showing on grass so between the sniffing and skipping about when he first started moving he didn't show himself as well as he can so we know what we need to keep working on.

*waves shyly from the corner*

Would love to be able to join in here! Had our very first ringcraft class tonight which was lots of fun, the people were really lovely and already noticed a huge difference by the end! Very used to showing horses but never once shown dogs (although have been to watch many dog shows just for fun). Turns out I have an unruly right arm so it was confined to my pocket until I can learn to control it Purdey was absolutely fab and we were able to find the sweet spot between too much energy from me = Tigger puppy and not enough energy from me = ploddy puppy.

We’ve been sent away to look for a lovely show lead from essenjay! Back in a couple of weeks for another class
