| For anyone who cares... When you enter a dog in a show, you are paying for an opinion of your dog/breeding. If there is one dog in a class and the judge gives you second place, it is not something to brag about..it means the dog does not conform well enough to the standard to be placed first...it is not a GOOD thing!!!!! Rarely, does a judge dismiss a dog unless it bites..the judge as a rule is polite and will give the dog a second place if no other dogs are in the class. |

| Pat, Very educational information for those just beginning to show. I know what it was like for me when I started....people had to tell me when to go into the ring and if I needed to go back in I had to be told too. The whole reserve thing threw me for a loop....took me awhile to catch on to that..... I know even now I can be so intent on my dog and someone has to poke me back into reality.

| I do not know anything about the thread that was closed, but based on your questions/comments Quote:
If you do get 2nd - that is just saying compared to the other dog that one is ranked better in the judges eye than the one that s/he gave 2nd place to. I have received second before and then had to go back in for Reserves since the one that won 1st in my class got Winners. I have received 2nd before with many other yorkies behind us. So I would have to say second place is not bad. And yes, you are paying for an opinion. Hopefully the judge that day will love your dog over others and give your dog the points. Some days are great and others not so good. It is all just a chance we take and hope for the best. And yes, it does get very confusing at times - when to go in again. T. | |

| In the world of dog show that 1st Place Blue Ribbon is only the preclude to that purple ribbon that says Winners.....that's where that points are at and gets you closer to that Championship.

Of these points (2) shows should be Major Wins...the # of dogs needed on a given show is different from Region to Region: Major wins are (3, 4, or more points on one win... Most show/exhibitors will not breed a female until she completes her championship....Reason...you will have to pull her out of the show circuit and the coat must be cut down prior to whelping....you don't want those little puppies to get strangled in mommies coat when they are nursing. Males can be used for stud prior to completing their Champion ship, if the are over the age of 7 months (this age because you can not register pups until your stud has reached this age)...I don't breed my males or females until championship is completed.

| I just saw that you joined back in December but this was your first post. Wanted to say Hello and Welcome! It's nice to see fellow exhibitors come aboard. Would love to know more about you and you Yorkie.
