Unfortunately can't see the photos of Tia as we're suffering with a rubbish dial up modem only at the moment!  How about asking dawn and rob their opinion, I'm sure as her breeders they would give you an honest opinion.

Best of luck with her if you do venture into the ring - sure we will see you at a show soon if you do.  She'll be in there with Ruby for a while!

Just an idea have a look on this website http://www.dogclub.co.uk/  and see if they have any ringcraft classes near to you.

shes just coming up 20 inches is that to big for showing ???

 

[rls22]

I'm sure that she would look fine in there - bitches within the standard are few and far between.

Give it a go - have a look on prodogs.co.uk for some Open shows local to you and get her entered!!

[marier05]

The breed standard for a bitches height is 17 1/2 - 18 1/2 inches. My bitch is 20 inches and iv been doing really well with her over the last year. Iv asked a few opinions from experts and they all said they wouldnt put her height against her.

In one of Taras recent critiques the judge (Viv Coulter) who awarded her BOB said "of correct size" and i remember specifically asking Viv and she wasnt offended by her height at all.

In fact, for the record, i was speaking to a friend of mine who shows her Whippet who is at the smaller end of the breed standard and she said in a few of her write ups the judge has commented on her being on the small side!

So do not be put off that she is 1 1/2 inches over the standard.

Between 17.5" and 18.5" for bitches

Our Ruby is a smidgen over and she is definitely one of the smallest in there. Holly is a little over 19" and she still looks fine, so I'm sure Tia would be fine.

I would say that anything over 20" is too big for a bitch, but that is just my opinion, liking the bitches to look feminine.

Size is only one small part of the overall picture and remember the standard is all desirable.

Nicky , i,m really proud of you hun and Tia,lots of good advice given already,as i would also say just stretch her back legs abit not too much that you are over stretching her :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Some will say she may be a little oversized,but don't let that bother you as believe me there lots more bitches around that size doing well in the ring and the same applies to the dogs.

Just go for!!!!!!!!! and enjoy it and i,m sure Tia will as well :wub: :wub:

She is looking lovely not underweight or overweight and in lovely condition,check on her nails that they are nice and short(be careful of the quick)and her teeth are clean as possible.
