Just a quick question? Didn't there used to be rules about how sessioned a dog was before you could enter them in shows?
To my knowledge, a dog needs to have at least a 10 in all four stats, and a 15 in at least one. I mentioned the possibility of showing dogs that aren't fully sessioned because I've found that in struggling breeds,as long as everything is blue, you can often pull off some points because very few people are showing.

180 American Foxhound-Now 147, up 33 spots!
181 Shih Tzu- Now 173, up 8 spots!
182 Miniature Poodle- Now 184, down 2 spots.
183 Finnish Spitz- Now 171, up 12 spots!
184 Spanish Water Dog- Now 186, down 2 spots.

Dogs get dismissed from the ring if they have less than 10 for all of show obedience, muscle tone and coat condition or less than 5 in any one of these area's. So thet sessioning does not have to be very advanced before they enter and least make up the numbers happy :)

I suppose if some payer decide to add a new breed they have a look at the Group placers!

Giant Schnauzers and Standard Schnauzers were down in the Group Results but now they are raising! The more often one show them (and breed of course) the better the Group placing! This is what helps breeds.

With both I already had Group placers and for Standard Schnauzer a request of a show dog.

happy :) Iris

I decided to try the breed. I've bought three dogs and will have two litters soon. A lot of Kooikerhondjes are for sale right now! Good opportunities for people who want to look at them.

Also, there are enough entries in one show tonight for someone to get a major. I put two of my dogs in even though they're not sessioned much, just to get things moving a little.

I think it's hard to see, but you HAVE gotten new people to try it. The breed's off the Rare Breed Account list, now!

Entering dogs that aren't completely sessioned has definitely made a difference for me with the Spanish Water Dogs. And not worrying about whether they are a particularly good SOP right now either.
It's quite nice when you finally get your kennel name on the list on the breed page. Even if I haven't made much difference to their overall position!

Did you know?
The figure 8 exercise requires the team to heel in a figure 8 pattern either on or off leash. Generally two of the ring stewards will assist the judge with this exercise by acting as "posts", standing 8 feet apart, that the team walks around to form the loops of the figure 8.
