Glad you had fun being a spectator at the show. The non-AKC shows have a totally different environment imho.

yes it is very fun... IABCA shows are much more relaxed and more casual.....:)

There was even a 84 year old Grandma showing her long hair chihuahua for the very first time. They were so cute to watch in the ring...

Glad you went and enjoyed it! They are neat since you get to see some different breeds and the atmosphere is so much more relaxed!

I showed in a NAKC show this weekend in GA. Came home with two breed wins (one on Cassy and one with Huey) Cassy got a Group 2 and Huey got a Group 1 and a Reserve Best in Show.

thank you for your help explaining the rules for me. I had a blast ! I really like the people there....:) nice people. Congrats on your wins on your 2 biewers....
they are so pretty......HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND YOUR FURKIDS

Congrats Stacey. What a good weekend!

I really do enjoy the rare breeds a lot more than the AKC shows both to watch and to participate.

Awwww good for her. I hope she won something....you know she'd be thrilled.

So were there any biewers at the show?

Congratulations on your wins Stacey!!!

No there was no biewer at the show. It was a very small show.

Well crud. I was hoping you'd get to see these amazing dogs in person.

I wish I could see a biewer. So far I have not had a chance to meet a Biewer in Person. I think Biewers are so pretty !

When I got my first, I had never seen any in person...and pictures do not do them justice. Aren't any shows held locally here either...it always requires a "road trip".

Thank you for the congrats!

Since I'm in Florida I have a hard time making it all the way over there! I know some Biewers show at the Washington and California shows.

We usually show at the shows in California. Come down and meet us.

I'm in Canada and I'm thinking of showing my Biewer in the IABCA show in September. I've been reading up on it...is it true that your dog can get the title of an international champion in a weekend? If they dont earn the full amount of points then what title do they get? Sorry, I'm new at this...I'd love for some Biewer showing guru to just explain everything that needs to be done at what titles you'd get where.

Also, this may be a very stupid question and I think I know the answer but can one person show more than one dog of the same breed in the same age group and everything in the same show.
THANKS:D

I am going to do my best to get up to that show! I know other Biewers will be there.

There are 4 shows in a weekend. It is possible to earn your international title in one weekend. If you are showing a puppy you would need all judges to give your puppy a rating of SG1 for your national and international titles, for this you are given an orange card. If 3 of the 4 give you a SG1 you earn just the national title, if you get 2 SG1 ratings then you have not earned a title and you would have to show again to try to earn one. There are 4 puppy titles that can be earned (3-6 month, 6-9, 9-12, 12-15) For an adult you need 3 ratings of V1 to earn each title, you start with trying for your international title and then can earn up to 17 more titles. If you get a V2 rating that is ok for a national title but only for that title. Adult is a little different because you try for your international first and then your national and then it goes into all the different levels. So for puppy you need 4 orange cards with a SG1 and for an adult you need 3 with a V1. More then one dog in each class can earn the SG1 or V1 rating. They would be ranked SG1a, SG1b, SG1c, etc. as long as the orange card says SG1 or V1 it counts the letters just stand for your place in class.

As far as showing more then one, as long as you have the handlers you can show. So if you are trying to show 2 dogs in the same class you need someone to walk each at the same time. If you are showing in different age classes and all dogs win their class you will need a handler to help bring dogs back in for breed competition. Most of the time other Biewer owners are friendly and if they are not in the ring themselves they will help out and walk the dog around for you if you have extras needing someone on the end of the lead.

Hopefully that all made sense, let me know if you have anymore questions.
