Guest Anonymous Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 Hello all! I'm sending out an open call for stories/information of dog show antics. You see, I am a 21 year old writing student from a family of dog crazy, dog obsessed and dog loving relatives. My grandparents, aunt and uncle all show and my mother works in the retail end of the dog world, so needless to say I have spent much of my life learning about the at-times bizarre but endearing world of professional dog breeding. Now that i've been given an outlet to voice my experiences about this complex "mini-world", I am hunting for stories from those people who have experienced it first hand from the trenches. Dog shows have always had a certain "office politics" about them and yet I have never had the opportunity to involve myself in that aspect. However, this sub-culture is so interesting and unique that I can't resist attempting to write about it. Any tidbit of information or snippet of story is welcome! Please help me to write an honest account of this wonderfully quirky way of life. Thanks for your time! Quote
between the wrinkles Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 well i try not tell this story much, but one of my bitches was stacked perfectly at a show once. it took judges forever to get to us, when they did, my bitch was so sick of waiting that she sat down on the judges foot! i dont think i've ever been so :oops: in my life. :lol: Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 It was over a year ago both Paddy and Gladis had won their classes. They both went for BOB together with another dog. The other dog won BOB I expected Paddy to get reserve BOB but the judge gave it to Gladis. He sulked he would not pose for a photo Gladis full of pride......I only entered her because at that show I could not take her NFC ............................................................................................ Poppy came to live with me at 6 years old, she had been lightly shown as a puppy the previous owner said she would never win anything again. when she was 13 we entered her in the veterans class we spent all week practisting getting her stacked. On the day of the show it was a hot day her class went in last she was tired out she was the only entery she only walked into the ring as the judge when over her she must have thought she was in the vets she could not get out of the ring quick enough. she got best verteren in show Quote
imported_Kat Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 When I was younger (8 I think?) I showed a Rough collie in junior handling and the big git was stacked lovely then proceeded to shift his position to a squat and he pooped in the ring. I was horrified! With my BC bitch Meg when she had her first obedience show she had done brilliant and I was talking to someone who was commenting on how well she had done, when i heard a shout behind me. My wonderfully obedient dog had jumped up on the refreshments table and was proceeding to eat a sticky cream bun. :lol: Quote
