This loosely-structured, informal seminar will include topics such as your breed standard, AKC and CKC rules and regulations, understanding what is required to earn a Championship, how to find out about shows, prepare entry forms, begin ring training for both you and the dog, appropriate clothing for the ring, grooming, equipment you will need and a variety of other subjects of interest.
Class size is limited and pre-registration is required.
This seminar is limited to large and giant breeds. Completely understanding how points are earned and how a dog show is structured can be difficult for the new exhibitor. We cover both AKC and CKC shows in this seminar. Handouts include copies of rules for both the US and Canada. Dogs are judged according to how well they adhere to their individual breed standard.
