cassie Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Okay dumb question but ive entered church in 2 minor puppy (he will just be over six months) now say we win our class cause we are the only flat coat there and no other dogs enter any other classes for our breed does that mean (judges discretion aside) we automatically win bob ? If you are the only one of your breed, yes you win BOB unless the judge refuses the award (which they can do, rare, but can happen) due to immaturity. Then you'll have to go back in for Best In Group and provided the BIG or RUIG winners are not from the minor class, you'll also have to go back in for Minor In Group.

Keshwar Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Remember that the check chain you are using in the ring is, or should be, really fine. These aren't designed for actually correcting your dog, they are to show your dog with minimal distraction. The idea is to train your dog to walk calmly on the show lead. If you are having trouble getting your dog to the ring, then I suggest that you have a normal collar and lead and your show lead both on the dog to walk to ringside, then remove the normal collar and lead before going in the ring. :) HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to hear that they aren't for correction. Atti walks brilliantly on lead. I have a group of show dog people to show me how to correctly use one as well. I've noticed that one lady there used a thin almost shoe lace like lead to show her golden. I am reluctant to get anything online as it's hard to tell what's what and I would prefer to look. Is leaving it till the day a bit risky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy.Tea Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have another question. I want to enter a show that according to the calendar should be closed to entries. However it's still open on ozentries. Is it okay to enter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotdashdot Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I've a question for NSW showers - my new puppy will be coming home from the 25th of November, and breeder has just let me know that she will be microchipped and BAER tested on the 24th (therefore papers will not be ready when puppy comes home, that's cool with me). I was planning for our first show to be the Australia day long weekend, which would give me just under 2 months for paperwork to be processed (and over Xmas time too when offices close!) So the breeder, seeing my plans to show my baby so soon, let me know that her papers will be coming a bit later but told me that in Tassie, they are allowed to show baby puppies with their number put down as "pending", is the same true for NSW? I must say I've never seen it in any NSW show catalogues, but as i'm still fairly "new" with only 7 or so shows under my belt, I thought I would ask. I can just hope that everything comes through on time, and works out, but I don't mind if it doesn't because I can still show Cleo in neuter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that this rule is different from State to State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should be able to get your papers back in plenty of time. And most shows you can enter online and they close a bit later so don't stress :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdashdot Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks for the answers :) I had forgotten that I had asked that in here! I'm really hoping that it all arrives in time, the judges are dally people and I'm keen to show under them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The breeder can ring Dogs Tas and ask what the registration numbers are as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Didn't want to start a whole new thread so thought I'd try here. Does anyone know when the Adelaide Royal schedules are usually released? The show isn't until September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you may already know all this. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 My question relates to putting the details of Sire & Dam on an entry form. Do I add their pedigree name & kennel number or their titles, pedigree name & kennel number. If I only did the former is the entry invalid? It is for a local show, not a Royal or Specials. Nervous VM :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdashdot Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I've always put their title (abbreviated) and number. eg. Gr. Ch. Paceaway Fiery Devil. I wonder how you do it if the parents have multiple titles - could get cramped! I'm not sure if it would make it invalid though, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous VM :) titles, names and numbers as it is often put in the catalogue as well. There is a separate space for numbers. Titles are part of their name, they are on the official rego certificate. But sometimes it does get squishy. You can usually get more in if you do your entries on the computer and then print them out. Is much neater and easier to read as well (at least it is for me, my handwriting is atrocious) Same as I have added 2 different phone numbers and my email address which I could never do if I hand wrote them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks for the replies. Submitted the form without their titles. Can only hope for the best. NEXT show I will try the 'computer' method. Nervous even filling in a form. LOL. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdashdot Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'm loving using the computer entries now. Show Manager is my favourite, very easy to use and when I had an issue I asked on their FB page and he solved it straight away (I had a glitch with one of my dogs) Makes it easy when you don't have a Cheque book (and the post office here don't understand why I get money orders for such small amounts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I just discovered something.... For those of you that dont know.... I am a blonde. I used Show Manager & the form WAS filled in with the full titles... oops.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
