Rules Of The Dog Show
from:Here is a typical rule pertaining to dog shows: Rules Applying to Registrations and Dog Shows states that dogs must be on their benches during the advertised hours of the show. The reason for this rule is that if the dogs were not benched, the spectator who pays admission to the show would not be able to see the dog he is most interested in. If each exhibitor copied the other and absented his dog from the bench, soon there would be no dogs on the benches at all.
This rule works the biggest hardship on handlers because of the great number of dogs they take to shows, but they, too, must obey this rule else it would not be fair to the one dog exhibitor. His dog might be more tired from being benched than the handler's when the two dogs met in the show ring.
Warnings, of course, are given offenders, but occasionally you run into a person who will not heed a warning. If the offense is repeated, the individual is fined and the notice of such fine is printed in the Gazette. The fine is usually $25 for each offense (of the benching rule), with subsequent infractions dealt with in more severe manner. In fairness to all, the rule must be obeyed.
Here is another example of a rule: Section 9 B states that a dog's color or marking may not be changed by the use of any substance. Would you as a beginner consider it fair if one of your competitors, with great knowledge and ability, changed the markings on his dog from poor to good by the use of applied color and won over your dog whose markings were excellent without the artificial change? A busy judge in a poor light may not notice the artificial change, and his placement would not be fair.
In the past this rule was difficult to enforce, but there have been changes and now under this rule the judge shares the responsibility of altered color and since the penalties are high you will find practically no artificial changes being made today. Years ago it was not uncommon to see a dog's marking completely altered by the use of stove blackening or mascara. The experienced "painter" had an unfair advantage over the novice in those days, but by the application of proper rules, this practice has been eliminated.
Should You Pay A Professional Handler To Show Your Dog
Professional handlers win many dog shows, and very frequently How is that so But just consider it a moment They work at their jobs all day, every day, not just at weekend shows, as do most of the people who complain about how much winning is done by the professionals There are hundreds of professional handlers who has gone from early morning breakfast until nine or ten at night without any.....More on Championship Canadian Dog Shows

Inside The Ring Always Be At Your Best
With your eyes on your dog, glancing up occasionally to see what the judge is doing, be prepared for the judge to call out or point out his placing of the dogs If he says to you, "first," or "One," or points to you and holds up one finger, go at once to the first place number marker in the ring If you are showing a very tiny dog, it would not be harmful to pick him up and carry him to first pl.....More on Championship Canadian Dog Shows
Using A Crate When Attending A Dog Show Part 2
If you get a crate with a door with vertical bars, be sure they are close enough together so that the dog cannot chew in between them or get his teeth around the bars Be sure the fastener for the door is a good one it has been found that window locks make good fasteners and it is wise to have a hasp on the door as well If the crate is a well made one, these things will be incorporated .....More on Championship Canadian Dog Shows
How Proper Puppy Grooming Training Can Aid In Showing Your Dog
Another thing your puppy can be trained to do while he is growing up is to stand still for trimming and grooming The grooming should be done while the puppy is standing in a show pose and this will help in your training him to pose The main exceptions to grooming while in a show pose are breeds such as the Poodle, Afghan Hound and the Old English Sheepdog; and oddly enough it is these exceptio.....More on Championship Canadian Dog Shows
