have started thinking about entering Eskil for a show. he will turn 6 months on the 27th of November. are there any suitable puppy class shows in december/january? preferably in the south east, poss midlands.

Hi Noise & Welcome ..

Most Open & Championship shows will have suitable puppy classes , the best thing to do is to get hold of a copy of 'Dog World' or 'Our Dogs' ( your news agent will be able to order them for you) . They are weekly papers aimed mainly at the show world & give details off all up coming shows , where they are , who's judging , when the entries close etc ....

Also , I don't know if you've shown before but it may be worth taking your puppy to ringcraft classes ..... it helps pup to socialise with other dogs , also teaches you how to Stand, Move your dog in the showring . I'm not sure about classes in your area , but there will be plenty of people on here that will ...

You may like to check out another forum ...

www.thewhippetforum.com

go to 'Whippets at show' and there is a pinned thread for details on 'Ringcraft Clubs' ... I'm sure someone will be able to help you :luck: :luck:

Good luck with showing your puppy ..

had a look at one of the papers but found it all a bit confusing, basically didn't know where to look the listings on the KC - site equally confusing...

haven't yet been to a ringcraft class, probably will go next week, but have been practising him at home, he's not too bad lol

That form would do I can't really see it or you could phone the secretary mr d fletcher 01782 550093 and ask for himto send you a schedule. You pay by sending him a cheque and the entry form but take it to the post office and ask for proof of posting just in case they get lost in the post.

Entries are £4 for the first class and £1 for any class after that with the same dog..I f he is only 6 months in november he could go in av minor puppy and puppy dog at the end of the day although this makes it a long day for young pups.

thanks, will do. minor puppy and puppy dog are then seperate classes? when is the entry deadline?
