Grooming - you need a small metal comb for around the nose and eyes, a pin brush (for coat), and a soft natural bristle brush (for topknots). Of course the right shampoo, conditioner and oil for his type of coat. And of course you have your equipment, grooming table, pole, blower, etc... Train for show - there is a lot to this. The best way is to find a handling class and practice. It is so hard to explain all the things involved. Main thing is to get your puppy use to the lead (make sure you have the right type of lead), and then practice walking with him on your left side. Praise him a lot and make it fun for him. Some use treats/bait from the beginning. Not all are best with bait. Some are better with just praises. You have to see what works best. Besides training them for walking - you need to table train them, so they stand in correct posture and hold it untill they are checked over by a judge. Also make sure they feel comfortable having their mouth/bite checked. Always praise and talk in a higher tone. I would get some books too. There are many out there now. Good luck and remember to have fun!!! We make it a family event going to shows. Infact my daughter was the one that got the points last time we went to a show. She was so excited. We are making some great memories as we go and I think it makes us closer as a family. T. Last edited by topknot; 06-28-2007 at 04:58 AM. | |

| Grooming - forgot, you also need a good clipper set for ears and feet (fine) and good scissors to trip ears and feet. T. |
