I am thinking of Ishkas first show being the lichfield canine societys open show on the 28th Jan. She will be just under 7 calender months. There are some classes on the schedule that seem interesting but I dont know what they are...

First of all I intend to enter her in both the junior and open classes (I dont think there is an age limit on the open class but if im wrong please someone enlighten me )

The other class for Bassets is Post Graduate, Ive read the rules but am still not quite clear what they are for this class...is it for dogs who havnt won anything before?

The other thing there is an A.V part of the show called "the millionaire stakes" Anyone know what this is all about. Oh and what are Handling classes, what do you do???

Sorry for all the questions Im a total newbie this would be my first show too. I just want to learn

Im entering my puppy soon in her first open show soon.

I usually only enter the one class, Junior or if a basset puppy class is available.

Post Graduate is for any age aslong there not champions or recieved more than 3 1st placings at a champ show

Open is the class where all bassets can enter including champions.


A.V or any variety i keep away from IF there isn't a basset hound class as your up against different types of hound breeds.

Handling...i haven't a clue about??? i heard that they ask for different monuvers, which i just dont understand

You can enter your pup in all three classes but to be honest the pup will probs not win the open class as it will up against mature dogs...not sure about the stakes class....but will tell you that even if you get beat in the junior class and so long as the dogs that beat you are over 12 months you would still be able to go for best pup in group/show....if the show has a best pup in group/show...

Thank you so much guys . I want to enter her more for her to be able to practise standing and get real experience outside of ringcraft more than anything. Its only a quid after your first entry The rules on the schedule made the mind boggle, needed it plain English Dumb

Lol this made me chuckle, imagin me rolling up with my little cross breed and trying to enter her. Would be sectioned. The cross goes to fun shows though, no complications or complex rules when entering waggiest tail or prettiest bitch lol
