Showing Advice needed

Hi everybody! I need some help/advice with regards to showing (mainly Beagles). We have moved around the world a lot and have now arrived in Bangkok. My children are mad on showing and dog shows and we went to a few and ended up making friends with a Beagle breeder/show etc. My girls show his dogs now at a few shows and we are considering getting our own pup to show.

My question is really regards to show leads as there is no such thing as ringcraft over here so we are being taught by our mentor. There doesn't seem to be a wide range of leads etc over here and my friend doesn't know much about the UK as he shows mainly in Asia and the US so is there a standard lead to show Beagles? Can I use any one or does it have to be the chain type?

I want to get my children one as a Christmas pressie so they have their own lead to work with. Can anybody help me? Thank you

Re: Showing Advice needed

I don't know what sort of lead to buy before I start looking and I can't find any relevant information. I am assuming they need a chain slip lead looking at pictures of UK shows but my daughter wants a slip lead so there is no seperate collar. I just want to know if there is a standard for different breeds to use?

Re: Showing Advice needed

have a look here

Dog Show Leads, collars, showsets in leather and braid. Handmade by Hessonite. From 7.50

tbo a lead and collar is down to personal preference and what you and the dog feel comfortable with. i prefer the leather slip leads too.

Re: Showing Advice needed

Welcome to the world of dog shows! It's addictive! I always used a thin leather or cotton lead and fine chain choker. Make sure to put the choker on correctly! It makes all the difference in handling and can hurt your dog if you don't put it on correctly.

Here in the states a lot of the dog show people use this website for leads.
Show Collars & Leads | PetEdge.com

Look for books on ebay about showing dogs as well! There are several REALLY informative books out there!
