Who shows their dog here?

Have shown Misty the year before last, with some good results as well, she did us proud qualifying for Crufts at Bournemouth Cham Show in 1st place and again at the WKC with a very good 3rd.

She never made it to Crufts though, she came into season the week before (we were not bothered anyway) during this time she also got attacked and lunged at a few times and her whole personality changed from a happy go lucky care free girl to a mad dog who thought she would get in and attack everything in site before they got her.

She is not like that now though, not as laid back as before but not to bad.

aww i remember you telling me this well done hun

no i dont show my dogs as they are all working bred and get told many times by a lot of show ppl my dogs are not bred to show standard anyway lol my lab and malinois couldnt be farther from the show type but i want working dogs so each to their own i say

its never appeald to me to be honest i mean no disrespeact to anyone here who does show tho i used to show my horses and to be honest that was bad enough at one point i got banned from some showing classes as my horse kept winning lmao

i thought about showing fred for a while, but then after looking into it and hearing horror stories, i felt fred was better off as he is .... an unruly hoody lol...

i was told by freds breeder a while back, that it would only take 6mths to get fred to show standard... tbh even if i was serious about it, i didnt have the means and the know how anyway

I'm not interested in showing either, would rather do some doggy sports instead.

Only Maggie has papers anyway and they are dubious. I was talking to someone who has her older sister on another forum and it seems the breeder was a bit dodgy. Shes about a month behind the age she is on paper, I dont think they are real.

Always like watching the shows though and looking at pics, would be nice to see some show pics on here

:nhy: only ever shown Bailey at a charity show when he came 4th in the most handsome dog (i know 4th how very dare they)
since then i've only ever shown them the back door.. :2431:

if they were good enough for the breed shows..
then i would love to..

but i know they are good enough for me :love:
and besides how would any other gsd win with bailey standing next to them in the show ring. i like to give the under dogs a chance :san22:

so true karen :love:

all dogs are beautiful who are these people who think they can say who is lovely and who isnt lol

I'm the same Karen, my dogs are good enough for me with or without papers. There was a time when we thought Stan may have had a bit of Doberman in him but we dont care what he looks like when hes grown :nhy:

my last dog was no pedigree on paper, but he was in my eyes ..

fred has papers, but it makes no difference how i love him :love:

Never showed but BB came first in the most handsome boy class
Was great fun and all proceeds went back into helping other rescue dogs

aww well done BB :2431:

never even thought bout showing blaze i no hes gorgeous and thats all that matters :)

i know what you mean shelley and paula
when i was doing the pedigrees for the pups.
Codi's has nyvarna lines and 5 gens in his
Tilly's was 2 gens and probably no decent lines
but the new owners where very happy with what they had with or without papers.

For BB

Awww thats great, well done. I bet he won hands down anyway :love:

Aww ta :love: :love: see it even has his Sunday name on it :2431: :2431:

:2445: :2445: :2445:

Sunday Best

awww yea lol :love:

I have shown all mine and have some great days out, thats how i see shows. Have shown Manto at crufts and he was in the cards . Enjoy working them more and just enjoying what you get from training. :love:

Aww.... :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

Cant show Marley either as he has no papers but well done to all of you who have :love:

mine are all paperd ect even rostam but as horrid as this sounds i dont see what can be gained from showing but that is just a typical working dog person thing to say
i do however love to talk to ppl who show and see piccys ect and have a lot of friends that show thier dogs not gsds tho

i have to agree tho rosemary doggy days out are fun lol its the same with horses we love going to shows mainly for the gossip :2445:

:love:

see rosemary i like your dogs how they are put together ect they to me are what a GSD should look like and also have seen they can work too so to me best of both im not in to showing but i have been put off a lot by show gsd ppl ohhh how bitchy lmao thats one reason working dog ppl are great can have the uglyest dog ever but if does the job who cares lmao

were at a dressage show on sun not competing as havent got the new 4X4 yet were going up for all the gossip and a good chin wag and laugh :san42:

Have never shown a dog but think it would be a nice hobby Have heard it can be a bit bitchy at top level We bought Keira from a well known breeder They own Ice who came 2nd last year at Crufts Keiras dad did quite well in the show world and is now the breeders house dog Does anyone know if you can show a spayed bitch? Always wondered

Hi Brena you can show a spayed bitch if she has had a litter or otherwise you would have to have permission through the kennel club and thats all to do with why they were spayed, sorry not to sure.
