| Absolutely Clueless.... Soooooooooo..... I want to go to a show.... my first.... and have absolutely NO CLUE what to expect. I don't know the terminology, the "who's and where's" or the "what to do when I get there's"!! haha.... I'm in OKC and I see that there is a show this weekend in Shawnee (The Muskogee Kennel Club) - - - says type of show is AB/JSHW... I'm assuming "all breed / junior showmanship"..... I guess I never thought about the fact that there are 25 MILLION types of shows!! But what is the type of show I need to be looking for? Would the best be "Match Sanctioned Conformation"?? (whatever that means) And why are some listed as "A" and some "B", etc.? Not to mention that I don't see any of those in OK in the near future... Any tips? Thanks, thanks

| Could you let us know what you are interested in? Are you interested in learning about showing in conformation or obedience or agility or are you just interested in going strictly as an observer. |

| show Going to a dog show is much like going to the amusement park...just go to have fun, even if you don't understand all the "in's and out's" it is fun. You will learn with time and asking anyone at ring side who IS NOT showing a few questions..then move on and ask someone else a few more...don't take your pet, be quiet near the ring when the dogs are being judged, buy lots of Yorkie stuff...Did I mention, HAVE FUN!!! Some of the happiest days of my life have been spent at a Dog shows, just watching!!! I think I will have my children spread my ashes at a show some place...LOL |

| I thought you were looking for a "parti breeding pair"? You will not find these being shown at any AkC conformation shows. But I hope you do go to the shows. You will learn alot and it should be VERY FUN!!!!!!!!! Did I mention that there is alot of VENDORS!!!!!!! |
