Leema Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hey HH, There are a list of events on the Dogs Vic website's calendar: http://www.dogsvictoria.org.au/GetInvolved/EventsCalendar.aspx I would suggest that most shows would have a smooth / some smooths there, but I'm not a local. You may go and find many smooths, you may go and find none! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highheels Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks so much for your speedy replies! Another question...are spectators allowed to take pet dogs (on leash of course) to these shows? I have a fox terrier. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highheels Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Sorry...Don't seem to be doing the replies right but just wanted to thank Ariedaler. I have never been to a show but I would love to and want to go with family and take the dog! I'll certainly be there on June 9th now...thanks also to Leema.

Dogsfevr Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 You can take your dog but be aware it will limit what you are able to do. Dog shows are very busy & people are often in small spaces so if you really want to have a look or talk with the dog/s/people you will find it way easier without your dog especially if the show is indoors at KCC park . Watching the breed in the ring from the side lines is very limited in space & holding a dog or having one standing with you may result in you being asked to move out of the way as the marshaling area is limited & if other shows/groups are on there all very close together . The show mentioned is part of a busy weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymoo Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yup indoors at KCC can get very crowded and agree if you want to chat to breeders etc or get closer to pat etc a pet dog (who I'm sure is gorgeous and fantastic!!) will not be used to the noise and lack of space and other dogs in numerous numbers, may be incomfortable and anxious. But again if he is a pretty chilled out kinda guy/gal they may be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highheels Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks missymoo and Show dog...very helpful replies. I have also looked at the KCC website since learning about it here. My dog is certainly not "chilled out"! Even our vet describes him as very enthusiastic so if we do take him one family member can keep him occupied while another goes inside.He is good on leash though. This is a great site with very helpful members. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Really, at an indoor show at KCC park in June, with no real shelter outside, I would leave your dog at home. Then the whole family is free to chat to the showies/breeders and relax and enjoy the show. No stress for the people and none for the dog. Just my opinion.
