Question About Dogsnsw Prefix Fee

She's not really show material and I don't want to demoralise him completely by making him show a dog that's not got a chance in hell.

In Junior Handlers though it's the handling being judged, not the quality of the dog. I don't know NSW rules but in the ACT juniors are permitted to show dogs not entered in conformation classes at the show, provided the dog is Main registered. That includes neuters.

My less competitive Whippet boy is shown in JH's by a young junior and she's starting to place with him. His uncanny ability to get on her correct side despite her efforts doesn't hurt. :)

If your dog is an easy handle, he may have a better run showing a dog he knows well and can practice with, rather than 'strange' dogs. Check your local rules though.

Thanks HW, I'll check. She's easy to pace but she does sometimes resent having her tail touched so stacking can be hit and miss with her(When you touch her rear end she just tends to sit down to avoid it, not snap or anything). He's using her for home practice so if she starts to tolerate it better we'll keep it as an option.
