| Thinking about putting London in a show.... The problem I have is that I don't know much about the whole thing. London is 3 months old. When is the right time to show her and in what categories? Also how much does it usually cost and where are the competitions held? Any other information you can think of would also be helpful.

| Start working wiht her some now - getting use to a lead. You can start showing when she turns 6 months old. I recommend puppy class. Cost is about 25.00 per day to enter. Check with either AKC events or Jack Onofrio Dog Shows, L.L.C. for shows in your area and the closing date. You have to start somewhere - I just jump right in and learn as you go. T. |

| Here is a link to a website that has wonderful information on it about showing your dog. Lacy's Place in Cyberspace - Dog Show Information If possible before you enter a show I recommend you have your dog evaluated by a knowledgeable show breeder. Conformations classes would be very helpful. Have you ever attended a dog show? |

| thanks for all the advice guys. I haven't been to a dog show but I watch them on TV all the time. I don't really want her to become a top show dog since she only has limited registration, but just to say that she had been in a show. Maybe just one or two a year would be fun.

| You can show her in conformation in the non-licscened class. this is kind of like the Novice class I think. pretty ribbons but no points. Last edited by Sugar's Mom; 05-26-2008 at 05:51 PM. |

| Dee, I not sure but I think that class is for UKC shows and not AKC. I have never been to a UKC show but I would sure like to. |

| You are right it is UKC but wonder what all those classes are in a Sactioned B show. I know they allow all ages from 4 months up to adult. I just got one of those little books a day or two ago from jack Onfrio shows and the Sanction B which I thought was strictly a puppy match, is right after Best in Show and has classes for all the way to adult. i bet it's something similair. well someone will know. |

Do you know if someone had a puppy that was AKC limited registration, could they register it with UKC with full registration? Just wondering if she could do that. | |
