Thank you so much!
They both went to their first conformation class last night...I just did a little bit with each of them. They loved it and had such a great time. There were several large breeds there...Magic took to barking at them and Hope was just amazed with them...staring at them! It was really sweet and cute! Both have their free stacking down pat...looking up and head tilt and all...rofl...they know how to ham it up!

That is the reason why I love showing terriers- attitude.

Speaking of Terriers, I was reading a vintage book I bought at the show last week and it gives directions on how to spare. I sometimes forget that judges can ask our breed to spare during the judging process. I wish more of them would. They are so beautiful when they are free stacked, alert and standing their ground! It would also "out" the dogs that handlers have to pull together in a forced stack and string up to give the illusion of decent movement.

We do practice this at our classes, the couple that puts on our classes has been in dogs for years!!! It really paints a lovely picture of a beautiful dog! The even judge with canes, walkers, big sun hats, sunglasses...etc...to help them be able to accept anything!

That's awesome that you have classes like that available for you to attend. Both of them are gorgeous though. I'm a sucker for a good ear set and their's are perfect in my book. Love their head shape and eyes too. Their smooch picture is priceless!
