So I've been mock handling and training show dogs for about a year, And last month she offered me a deal on the best puppy in the litter! I was thrilled and excited! I got my very first show dog...
Any way I'm going in my VERY first show in July now I'm getting a bit nervous, I have been working for this for a year and now its actually going to happen with my own dog!!! She is 6 months so she will be going in senior puppy I guess, I know judes dont expect much from puppies but still its scarry! I've been working on these with her: Heel on lead is 100% About turns 50% Sit 90% down 70% Down and back 40% I know my L and Trigangle by heart just incase the judge asks that She will hold a stack for maybe 10 seconds IS there anything else I should work on with her? PS: She's a Labrador Retriever |

I don't show dogs (not yet, I'm sort of learning), but good luck! I love labs Alexandria |

One thing to add might be having strangers go over her (pretending to be the judge for the exam) and having her bite shown. I have a puppy that's going to be hitting her first real show in a month and I definitely need to work on those two things! She doesn't like to sit still at all. It's also important to make sure they're having fun in the ring as puppies. You want the show ring to be a happy place for them! |
