I believe training a dog for the shows isn't overly difficult. Some aspects of the training are actually quite easy.
If I were you I wouldn't hesitate to bring Scottie into the show ring. I think he has the look for it and maybe you could come compete in the altered class with me. Next year I'm planning on doing a circuit of shows all through Vancouver Island, and maybe the Chilliwack shows too. It's tons of fun! |
The more I think about it, the more I want to give it a shot. I've spent all this time and effort growing out their hair, the Yorkie lover in me wants to at least try it out.
Over the past few years, we've attended the dog shows in Surrey and Chilliwack once or twice a year whenever our breeder was showing. This year, we've been just too busy with wedding planning.
Maybe next year! I would LOVE to bring Scottie to the show ring. What kind of process did you have to go through to get into the altered class?
