This is Al for the shows I can go to that have YKC and most likely JH.
I am new to this all as I have only been out 11 times now but not just JH or YKC but in the actual big rings which can be a wee bit scary with the older folks but they have been really good and encouraging me.

I have put the Scottish and Irish ones and two English ones we may attend.

If getting started in JH there is a video from Marina Scott that helps you out on what to do and how to handle yourself in the showring. You can't watch once but a few times as there is loads to learn on it.
I also have a great mentor that helps me when doing training called Claire she has helped me a lot over the past few months with ringcraft and obedience for Loki and myself.

Remember dont be afaird to ask the judge to repeat herself if you havent heard her intructions.
Always be presentable as in clean and tidy.
(I can be clumsy so I need a change of clothes sometimes)
A lot of boys are not into handling but I have noticed that there is more and more of us now which is good for me.
The usual circuit is T, L and Triangle or reverse of these.
I have to add you must know your breed you are showing/handling.
ie what breed is it, how many teeth they have, what was it used for in the past or now. They mainly do this at champ shows so be aware they may ask and a dog has 42 teeth by the way.
GOLDEN RULE
NEVER COME INBETWEEN YOUR DOG AND THE JUDGE.
I am hoping to do agilitity with Loki in the future as there is only one other Great Dane that does it that mum knows. I think it'll be fun for us.
Good luck Alan
