mirawee Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I think I'd like to do the same, handle some other people's dog in preparation for the day I get my own. Not sure whose dogs I could handle though, don't know many DOL showies in Perth (and who would be happy to hand over a dog!!) ;) RS, we have several show dogs available to teach you how to show ;) You can even show one at the Classic if you want (cause he is frustrating to those who know what to do ROFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirawee Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) That actually sounds quite worrying, if experienced handlers are frustrated then I would well and truly not be cut out for the job! ;) He is actually "easy" to handle but gets bored in the ring and doesn't like pricking his ears forward for the judge :D This has lost him wins on several occasions. Mum learnt to handle with him as it didn't matter if she stuffed up (which she would do from nerves) coz it wouldn't make any difference to Boots :D So the reason he frustrates more experienced handlers is coz he likes ignoring the handlers attempts to get him excited and yawn in the judge's face ;) Mum has only started getting frustrated with him after about 2 years of learning. ETA: I am fairly sure it is the Games night he is entered in. I only entered Banjo in the show on the Agility night.

whitka Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 I've been thinking about this for a while and I really want to get into showing or at least give it a go. Only problem is I dont have a dog to show nor will I be able to get one for a while ;) I have competed in Obeidence and Agility trials. So are there any options for those like me?

Gayle. Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Whitka, keep March 27 free. There's a members comp on at Morwell, I will enter Dusty and Isaak and you can handle both if you like. It's a relaxed, casual day, great for learning and really good fun. There are 2 comps so you'll get 4 goes in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
