Ahhhh, don't forget, I'll be in my Ghillie suit, so may be slightly camouflaged

Shame it's a month too early for us or we could see you there. I've been teaching little Miss collie features here to stand by luring her into it. It doesn't teach her to stand perfectly square but for her it's a start. I discovered if I now hold her fave squeaky toy up she stands quite nicely, stock still, looking alert as the BC should, and with her tail in the right position.

Tip I heard was don't stop showing until the judge has placed you. I saw a clip of a chap showing a BC though and he was very busy attracting and keeping his dog's attention, so much so that I thought if I was the judge I'd give the place to the dog that didn't need so much work doing on it, but he won so his dog must have been better than his rivals and his busy style can't have put the judge off.

What to wear, I've heard, if you wear trousers, not ones the same colour as your dog's legs or it'll look like your dog has six legs. If it's outdoors something that doesn't show wet grass stains from experience. I know nowt though. I've only shown a wsd once at an Ag Show.

The way my new one is going though I'll have a hard time stopping her from hauling me up to the judge and going belly up for a tummy rub.
