First UKC show, any suggestions?

He is very pretty. Too bad about the AKC standard being illogical.

1. I don't show UKC enough to know any but the most local judges.
2. Yes, one judge per show.
3. Generally, they take day of show entries, so they don't know what the load will be, and they adjust accordingly. In my area, they use white boards to write the breeds, counts, and order for each group. The shows are small, so it's not hard to figure out once you are there.
4. I go business casual
5. Depends on the judge, but if your dog is right there, KNOW THE RULES before you step into the ring.

 

Not an expert by any means, my first show for my 6 month old boy is in a month. I hired a handler to help get him ready and show, because I definitely am clueless at this.

 

I should have read the title more clearly!

 

handlers are not allowed in UKC. The dog must be owner handled, whole or in part. I think the breeder can show the dog as well. The good news, NO product is allow in the dog at all. only water and brushing. Trimming as normal for the breed. excessive trimming is not allowed.

 

Hes got a nice head. Tony (Antonio) will appreciate that. I used to take his handling class (we lost our building which makes me very sad ) and he does alot with 4h kids around here. He has a gentle hand with the dogs.

Let me know how you do at the show!!!

 

Yes to all the above.
