There is a show I am thinking about attending in 2 1/2 months. I have never shown, never been to a practice match, and have only been to 2 shows in my life. I want to try, get my feet wet. If I go its a two day show but I will only enter one day, so I can crawl in a hole the other if Im mega embarrassed.
I dont mind going and looking rough around the edges, I dont even mind looking a bit foolish, but I just dont want to look like the biggest fool to enter the ring
I know I have to get a registry in early for the show, I know I need a table, grooming supplies. A show leash.
I appreciate any tips at all, but what I dont know a thing about is the ring. I know it would be best to attend a show, but truthfully Im not going to have the time. Do They call the dogs names? You enter the ring as called? You stand with your dog? in a line stacked beside you?? Or what? What run patterns should I expect, so we can practice? Do you always keep your dog toward the inside, for the judge to see? Do they stack just on the box? DO i pull their gums up for the judge to see? I have every question there is I guess.
Anyone willing to give a step by step as what to do when they call your name?
