I'm going to assume from your picture that you have G.Sheps. Is this your first time ever? How old is your dog? where are you at?

[vonissk]

This is my first time in conformation. I am going to be entering the gray dog in my avatar which is a working line German Shepherd. I also am getting a black pup-GSD-next month and she will be entered also. She is mixed Am. and East German (DDR) lines. I am located in southern Oklahoma. She will be 6 months. The sable boy will be 2 in December. I have done Schutzhund training and competed in Obedience before so dog shows aren't really a new thing for me. This is a UKC show because my boy would never cut it. My new girl I have a handler for AKC shows.

Sorry I thought I had a different avatar. He was gray when he was younger but has darkened up quite a bit now.

[SmoothCollieluver]

That's cool. I don't know much about ukc. This is the first dog that I plan on trying to do other evens with. But we shall see. I love to show, I don't know that I would feel the same way about other events.

[vonissk]

UKC is owner handled--in other words no pro handlers unless they own or co own the dog. It is a lot more family oriented. I have never shown there before either but I know about the shows and I have friends that do. So what better place than to get my feet wet? LOL Are you going to show the collie on your avatar? I sure like the smooth coats. If I was going to have a collie they would be the ones I wanted. But I have been in my breed almost 25 years now so I think I will stick with them............

[SmoothCollieluver]

Ya that's my puppy. He is my first smooth. Not that I'm not used to them. But i never actually owned one before. I love most of the herding breeds but collies are my fav.

Well today was Mac's first show. He got Reserve Winners Dog. I had hoped to get the points today but o well. Tomorrow is another day and another judge.
