Can anyone give me showing tips?

We are entering a few open shows before the champ show but would love some tips on the champ show.

What does the entry form mean by these?

"Breeds with Challenge Certificates: First entry per dog £23.00. Breeds
without Challenge Certificates: First Entry per dog £12.00"

What is a breed with a CC and a breed without?

Hi Shetland Lover- I am still getting used to all this!

It means if your breed is offering CC's at that show. If no CC's are on offer, the entry is cheaper.

It will depend on the Show on whether there are CC's on offer. Not sure for your breed but with Chows there is a few Shows where CC's arent available (Leeds Champ, Driffield) and the entry is cheaper.

If I am correct- and please correct if I am not- You can only qualify your dog for Crufts at a CH. Show if they are placed 1st 2nd or 3rd in their class and there is Challenge Certificates available for your breed?


Hope this helps.x

Can a puppy be entered into any class or just puppy class?

Thanks btw.

Will you be at blackpool show in June?

Your welcome

Yes, you can enter a puppy in puppy class until he is 12 months old ( as long as he is under 12 months on the first day of the show I think)

Or you could try him in junior, although he would be up against bigger more experienced dogs so I havent entered my pup into any junior classes so far. I would avoid the other classes tbh as the dogs get more experienced and older as you go up the classes.

I think I will go to Blackpool Champ but only for the day out, I dont think there is a class for Chows so dont think I will enter the pup. Will you be there?

You can enter in as many classes as you like BUT if you have a puppy I would stick to just the puppy class unless your pup is mature enough to take a junior class, you can enter the puppy stakes if there is a class but be prepared for huge entries but an enjoyable experience if you just look on it as another chance to try your skills and give your pup another judge to look at him/her and for more ring training for both of you

Qualifying classes are dfs Crufts 2011 Qualification | Crufts presented by the Kennel Club and shelties are in Stud band E

If someone can de-code it for me regarding puppy - dog for shelties class I would be greatful.

Thanks Tashi.

I am so confused. Haha.

Stick with minor pup and junior pup I think.....

First time entering like this so want to make sure I know what I am doing.

I would just do minor puppy and puppy - junior may be too much how old will he be
