You are allowed to show your girl when she is in heat, yours will not be the only girl at the show in heat. You can not show in obedience but in the conformation ring it is okay. Just let the judge know she is in heat so she doesn't get her hands all messy. It is a challenge to show them at this time and it is a trick to get your males to behave at this time but it is all part of showing dogs.
When I took Tailor to Canada to finish him there the first weekend after winning winners dog the winners bitch behind him was in heat. The next weekend the Specials bitch in front of him was in heat. I had my hands full for sure. By the time you enter a show you never know for sure if your girl will be in heat, and what if it breaks a major for you or someone else...
Just my thoughts on showing in heat, in a perfect world , the girls would only come in heat in between shows but it is not a perfect world...... |
