pixie_meg Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 We had our first show last friday at Hillsborough and have another coming in October at Hillsborough, anyone else come in here that is doing it? We are in Utility. RAin we were most likely at those shows I just havent been in here for ages. Are you entered anywhere soon? What sort of dog do you have so we can all keep an eye out! Hi all, We've just entered our first ever show so we have less than a month to get ready and we're really not ready . I feel a little odd since he's never been shown and he's in junior class and i have virtually no clue on how to show. I'll be getting some one on one training this Friday so we'll see how we go. Wish me luck. Hey pixie good to see you hitting the ring! One on one training will be good for you, its really not that hard but it does take abit of training outsiode the show ring and some dogs are naturals and some arnt...wheres your boy from? He is from Argowan at Newcastle. He's got great personality, its more a matter of calming him down around other dogs that'll be the problem. i'm nervous but excited.

Ahhh i see, I have seen the Arogowan people around abit at shows, dont know them thou. A friend of ours shows borzios for someone around here so we get zoi's visiting our little gazebo area quit abit. They are such a different type of dog than I am used to but theres sumthing about them I really like. Alot of them seem to almost float around the ring! And now you are showing maybe you will end up with a show pointer eventually..if you enjoy yourself of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolving Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hopefully it all goes well. She is prone to going a little hyper though. At least it is indoors so I don't have to worry about rain and mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyntervale Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Aleras first show is this weekend. Woohoo!!! Where you showing? Bummer I'm not showing this weekend... my next one is Sunbury on Cup Day. I'm hanging out, only 7 points to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it is indoors so I don't have to worry about rain and mud. You should've seen her sister's display on Saturday morning... She was aptly named "the loud one" by the judge. She would.not.stop.BARKING!!!!!!!!! And instead of gaiting around the ring decided that she would try and see if she could go visit every single dog she saw that was walking outside the ring! I'm sure it can't get much worse than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolving Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) I will be at Sunbury on cup day. This week we are showing at Southern Cross. Everytime I take Alera to training she starts off by trying to visit every dog in the ring but once she goes around a few times she settles nicely. I am hoping to get her there early enough to work off some of her energy or at least make it not as interesting as food anymore once she has seen everything. She does love food so I can get her attention easily. While she is a big barker at home she does not do it as much out of the house so I hope she keeps to that. She can get slightly annoying when in a talking mood. Edited October 19, 2010 by Evolving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does love food so I can get her attention easily. Yeah having a food driven dog makes life a lot easier! Unfortunately for us, Fable couldn't give a flying piece of fur about food which is fine for her other training, but in the ring is very limiting in how you can bait her! I have been known to bait her with a rock that she was playing with before we went in the ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolving Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Our first show is over and done with. Alera did a good job. We did not win anything or even get the chance to beat her brother who was suppose to be there but was a no show. Here she is in her play time after the show.
