Who shows dogs?

If you know any handlers, they'd probably be tickled to give you some of their used leads and things in exchange for assistance with grooming and ringside at shows. What you're talking about shouldn't cost more than a few dollars, and most handlers probably have a dozen of them in their tack box.

if you know any handlers in reno nevada let my know.
sunnychooks good luck. kick some but there. and i want pics from the show. if any ony on here has any used show supplies please let me know I will pay I just need some stuff before 4h season starts. I am so exited for it to start but also nervous

What kind of things do you need? I don't know if I'll have it, but I'm happy to root through a tack box and see what I have. Also for what breed?

I have a Borzoi...he's gotten two majors & he's up to 11 points...I was hoping to get him finished this summer (he's still got one more show to do, but the turnout in years past has been poor, so he probably won't finish this year, although he may end up being qualified for the Eukanuba).

I would suggest going the AKC website & finding a breeder of your dog breed to connect with. Most people are MORE than willing to talk about dogs, grooming techiques, handling/bait, etc.

In addition, I would start out at local, small shows, then work your way up to breed sanctioned shows, etc. I personally do not handle my own dog because I simply do not have time nor can I take the time away from work/home/my other animals to do it. Although I do practice at home with Brodee & if I end up with extra time one day, I do think it would be fun to do.

Oh & my dog is a PIG. You could use anything for bait..but I perfer hotdogs.

Cheap & they LOVE them. Of course, they only get tiny pieces at a time.

Brodee's AKC name is Davmoor Vision Keeper. Handled by Diane Davis (she's also the breeder). Sometimes, he is handled by Jordan Davis, Diane's daughter, in the Jr. Handling.

Thanks!

I have an English Mastiff ~Tug~ 20 month old male has a few points and went through a "butt high" stage and about the time that was straightening out, he went down the 8 foot ditch and pulled a muscle!
He's sound again and will be back in the ring next month. Time to fatten him a little- with an injury and growth stuff I like to keep him a little lean.

He's raw fed-
most of his diet is chicken backs and chicken necks I also get venison/pork/beef mixture ground from my local meat market. I also belong to a raw food co-op that I get raw green tripe from.
He was never food motivated and baiting him was impossible! I now have a recipe for liver treats that are cooked and he will bait with that.
He's also on the shy side-once he's stacked for the judge, he won't breathe again 'til the down and back!

I don't show my dogs or anything, but I'm Boxer obsessed.... I currently have 3 (and would have more if money & my hubby would allow). *haha*

I'd like to show someday. It seems so exciting!
