Guest roo Posted June 22, 2002 Posted June 22, 2002 One of the most important things is to listen to what the judge says. Don't drag your dog around, you still see this happening alot, Keep an eye on your dog and an eye on your judge. :lol: Quote
GizmoRedNosePit Posted June 22, 2002 Posted June 22, 2002 I may not show but when I watch shows I see some of the people acting like they dont want to be there..... When you go into a ring you should be dressed correctly, the dog must be in TOP condition and the trainer/owner must smile and listen to the judge..... I would love to show but currently it is not possible.... Quote
Guest roo Posted June 23, 2002 Posted June 23, 2002 Gizmo, Thanks I forgot about being of smart appearance, but smile, that made me laugh I have visions of someone with a huge grin showing their dog, while running around the ring trying to keep their smile in place, the grin i can see is the one on the photo of your dog, who always looks to me like its got a huge grin :lol: :lol: :lol: Roo Quote
GizmoRedNosePit Posted June 23, 2002 Posted June 23, 2002 Roo and K.....You made me laugh so hard when I read your posts.... And yes she is smiling in the pic..I guess that is one thing pits really have down!! LMFAO!! :D Quote

Guest Anonymous Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Also (I'm in juniors) and you want to be very nice to the judge. Treat her/him with as much respect as possible. And proubly the biggest thing is to pay attention. Don't look around to see if you can wave at your mom or anything! :D And always keep one eye on the judge and one on your dog! Like when the judge walks behind you don't be trying to stack your dog instead always have the dog in bewteen you and the judge! Something that took me a while to remember! :oops: Quote

GizmoRedNosePit Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Guest and beaglt you funny!! So you need four eyes not two, so your dogs eyes have to be conected to yours and vice versa!! LOL :D Quote
Guest roo Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Four eyes are ok eight would be better :lol: The most important thing to remember once you have remembered everything else is to remember to breathe :lol: And finally if you don't win its your fault not the dogs :lol: :lol: :lol: Enjoy yourself, let us know how it goes.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 I am curious about this. do you guys show in 4-h? what diffrent groups do they have? how old does the dog have to be? good luck puppy411! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 26, 2002 Posted June 26, 2002 Yep me and puppies both show in 4-H and pratically everything else you can do with your dog. For 4-h they can enter at a practial age (any age after 9 weeks with ours) but they differ. And I should know this but I don't so sorry I think its eight months for juniors. And for the kids in 4-h its ages 7-18 for ours and for juniors 10-18 or 8-18 forget. They have lots of diffrent classes. For fair you have diffrent classes that they divide you up into for you age. Every year you go to your county fair with your dog and compete in obedience and conformation. Then if you win grand champion at the fair you get to go to a state fair and compete there. I got grand champion in obedience and conformation last year and I went to state fair at puallup. You get these awesome tropies and a large cash reward. Also in AKC juniors they have a new scholarship you can try to get. I'm trying to get that. I strongely encourage every kid with a dog to get involved. Also with 4-h you do not have to have a purebred dog as you do with AKC. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask! :D Hope this helps even a little! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 27, 2002 Posted June 27, 2002 in 4-h you do some thing like juniors and obedience. Juniors and 4-h is for ages10-18. pre 4-h is for i think ages 6-9. Quote
