dotdashdot Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I've got a neuter class question.... Cleo is desexed now, but I still want to dabble in showing (and catch up with my mentor!) is the neuter class the ONLY class I can enter now? (eg is Aust bred excluded) Just want to clarify =] And does the dog/bitch that wins the neuter class get points towards a title? Just thought I'd ask while I was in the show ring section. Thanks =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, even though im in a fairly regional part of NSW, a few shows nearby are hosting neuter classes! Just for that Im grateful (I can show for fun and NOT worry about seasons!) I don't really care about points, they would just be a nice bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishB Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Bella got her first CC today. :) I took it home and realised her name has been spelled incorrectly (even after I'd corrected the misspelling in the catalogue). Do I need to contact someone to get it fixed up? Congratulations!! Obi got one too, even though he was the only dog in his breed there it was still a bit exciting :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinxy Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi, I'm new to showing. I live in Albury so to go to shows, I'm going to have to travel a lot. Since shows start in the morning, I won't be able to drive down the day of the show for shows in Melbourne or Sydney. Something occured to me. Where are you supposed to stay with your dog? Are there dog hotels around? Do you just sleep in your car? I can't imagine that'd be great fun for the dog. I know it's a newbie question with a probably very obvious answer but I can't figure it out. Help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allerzeit Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 There are heaps of country shows too where you won't have to travel as much - Albury, Wodonga, Corowa, Wang, Benalla, Shepp, Yarrawonga, Wagga, Junee and lots more in that general area :) We never used to travel to Melbourne for showing when we lived up there, unless it was to specialities (although we are also happy to only have a couple of shows a month, we don't look to show every weekend).

MishB Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 This is probably a silly question but how do I enter a show in another state? I live in WA but my family live in Canberra and Melbourne, so when I go home for a visit which is a couple of times a year, I wouldnt mind entering a show while Im there. How do I find out what is on while Im over there? Would I enter the same class as I would if it were here? are shows run the same way in each state?

SparkyTansy Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yep they are run the same way. It depends on where you enter the show but some states have all the schedules online so you can view to see what you can enter. You can use the same entry form you use for our shows (I think) and the same class you would enter here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCheekyMonster Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I without reading properly have entered Gus into the GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY WINTER INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW.....this was not a good idea was it? Someone give me an honest opinion if i should just not show up on the day.. hahah are these shows the deep end of the show spectrum.. it sounds all fancy and top of the range show dog like.

Of course you will offend someone, it's a given. You won't know why or what or how but who cares? Sure there will be some sour person tut tutting if Gus is less then perfect, but no doubt they would be like that even if Gus is perfect! If it wasn't you it would be someone else. Don't worry about what other people might be thinking/doing/saying. You and Gus go have some fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lived anywhere near a major showing area (hello 6 hours driving to Hillsborough, the closest major show area) I would do it! I probably also wouldn't have a desexed bitch because showing wouldn't be a 3 or 4 times a year occasion. Enjoy yourself! And don't stress too much over Gus' dally behaviour...Cleo got her brains at about 10-11 months :) she is a pleasure to stack and work with now!

zeebie Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 http://www.dogsnsw.org.au/how-to-exhibit-your-dog HOW TO EXHIBIT YOUR DOG - from DOGSNSW a bit too long to cut & paste here. this link no longer works BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeebie Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 No, you can only enter one class per dog :) What about those who enter puppy bitch and Australian bred? Also you can do puppy sweepstakes or baby puppy sweepstakes and the open show and the champ show all on one day - it is alot though and much running around :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
