I think the show world is so interesting. Maybe one day I'll be able to participate but at this stage in life I don't have the extra time or money to be able to. |
Usually about 2 years old, however, a lot is dependent on the line.
Now the DQ for written to diqualify any color than what is identified in the Standard. However, one must also keep in mind that the Standard is written to describe an adult dog.
