Held in Ferndale, WA
An informal, yet detailed class designed for the new and
beginning dog show exhibitor.
Learn what they don’t teach you in handling classes!
Presented by
Georgia Hymmen and Jack Henderson
Breeders & Exhibitors of AKC Champion Showdogs since 1974
We will offer a question and answer period, cover ring etiquette and the “unwritten” rules. A workshop will be presented on different dog show scenarios. A “hands on” handling class will also be included.
This seminar is open to any breed. Class size is limited and pre-registration is required.
Rules & Regulations/Show Structure
How do you know what class to enter your dog in? What are the disqualifying faults of any breed? What are the requirements for registration? How do you apply for an ERN number to enter an AKC dog in a CKC show? How does a dog get his Championship? How are points figured? How do you read a judging schedule? Completely under-standing the rules and regulations of AKC and CKC shows are a must! Learning how points are earned and how a dog show is structured can be difficult at best for the new exhibitor. This seminar will help to clarify all that! We cover both AKC and CKC shows in this seminar. Handouts include copies of rules for both the US and Canada.
The Breed Standard
What is it? How do you find it? How was it developed and why is is important? Dogs are judged according to how well they adhere to their individual breed standard. Being familiar with the standard for your breed is very important and should be considered a must for new conformation exhibitors. In this seminar, we will review your breed standard, followed by discussion.
Training, Conditioning & Grooming
Besides being a good example of his breed, the show dog needs to be presented in the best possible manner. This includes being well-trained and in excellent condition. The potential show dog needs to learn how to be groomed, stacked, examined, baited and gaited. We will also discuss diet, conditioning and exercise. After our discussion, there will be a hands-on portion where we go through an actual handling class.
Those Paperwork Things
How do you find out about dog shows? How do you fill out an entry form? What happens after you fill the entry form out? What do you do if you make a mistake and don’t find it out until after the close of entries? How do you read a judging schedule? What happens if you enter the wrong class? How do you keep track of your show records?
Handouts will include a sample entry form for both AKC and CKC shows, listing of superintendents who service our area, sample show record sheet and more. We will also do a “pretend” dog shows, starting with an entry form to the actual “show”. This exercise helps to understand the actual
