SwaY Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Most of my numbers arrive 4-5 days prior to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Woofs Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 For my last few shows I haven't got the numbers until the day before, but for the show this Saturday I received it a week ago. I guess it depends on the number of entries they need to sort through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toydogs Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Come on all you experienced showies. Lets help the newbies by putting stuff in here! i've written an article on how to show dogs in my website as well, and its not only directed at chis but for all breeds as i;ve owned other breeds in my life. but atm took out some pages to do with showing as i had 24 pages which is quite a bit of work to maintain when you work f/t and have dogs, so i am now coupling them together. but i had classes on there too, and the point system etc. how to show a dog in australia Edited August 5, 2009 by toydogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bindii Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Ohh well there you go! Good to know it's okay to receive them later, but in this case she did say i should have already received it. ...but i wont stress too much if i haven't received them by this stage in future.

ellz Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Had the same experience myself last weekend. Numbers hadn't arrived by the Wednesday prior to the show so I gave the secretary a quick call. Turns out they were late sending them out (our regs state you're supposed to receive them a minimum of 7 days prior to the show) but it was a good thing I rang anyway because they STILL haven't arrived (and the show was last Saturday). No great drama, she confirmed I was entered and I picked up a new set of numbers from the office on the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bindii Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 No great drama, she confirmed I was entered and I picked up a new set of numbers from the office on the day! Yep yep that's what i'm doing! and she confirmed and everything so that's wonderful. I was just super worried that my entries hadn't been accepted or something, because i hadn't trimmed my entry forms on that one either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hello There is a possibility that I may want to start showing one day I am planning on going back and reading through this thread, but in the meantime, is this a place where I can ask stoopid questions? For example, I am looking at the show schedule for a show show that runs over two days. They have all the groups of dogs listed on the first day, and then again on the second day. Is the second day for the champion judging or something? Or do they just spread the different breeds in a group out over two days? If that is the case, is there any way that you can tell which breeds will be on which day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 The 2nd day is another show. Iv'e never known an all breeds show to run over 2 days. Only a few specialties do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 The 2nd day is another show.Iv'e never known an all breeds show to run over 2 days. That may be the case in Victoria, but it happens here in Tasmania. For example, the Burnie Ag Show this year has Groups 2, 3 and 5 scheduled for Friday and the balance with Specials on the Saturday.

SwaY Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 That is two separate shows Daisy. It doesn't mean the same dogs/breeds will be entered on both days thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bizzare. Would be ok if you sucked the first day as you would not have to go back. But if you won the first day you have to go back for the 2nd day.

Daisy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 sorry if I am being dense, but why would you have two shows on the one weekend in the same location with pretty much the same categories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 sorry if I am being dense, but why would you have two shows on the one weekend in the same location with pretty much the same categories? Different judges so (hopefully) different opinions. Chance for more points and more fringies. No travelling between shows so people can set up, let their hair down and enjoy themselves.

poodlefan Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 sorry if I am being dense, but why would you have two shows on the one weekend in the same location with pretty much the same categories? Double the chance for challenge points. Different judges. Having more than one show in the one place pulls more entries. You've got two triple shows in Goulburn before the end of November.

Eridor Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Daisy PF and Ellz and Sway have answered your questions well I just want to add if you come out for the shows come and find me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) I will probably come to Canberra for at least one of the days, if not both. If I do only turn up on one day would it make any difference which day I went to? Eridor I will definitely look you up and hopefully will be able to meet some other DOLers too! PF I will keep my eyes open for the Goulburn shows, it will depend on what shifts I am working though as to whether I will be able to attend. Would love to meet Howie I would like to learn more about showing to see if it is something I would like to try. Not right now, as I work most weekends, but hopefully within a few years I will be able to change my job and then it may be a possibility ;) Edited August 13, 2009 by Daisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eridor Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 each day should be much of a muchness daisy. The goulburn shows are advertised in the nsw journal and you cant view that online without being a member. I can find my journal and give you dates if you like.

I can find my journal and give you dates if you like. maybe I should become a member! slightly OT - but interesting that you can't even find out show dates without being a member, it relates to some of my comments in another thread about getting more members of the public interested in and involved in dog shows. Wouldn't it be great if the shows were advertised and promoted locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
