Mi-Ki Show Dog Guide



 Why Should I Show My Dog?

The answer is simple, but has many parts. First, showing your dog is fun! You meet other breeders and club members. You get the opportunity to see many other fine breeds of dogs. A lot of people will ask you about your wonderful dog...which brings me to promotion. Shows are a great way to promote your kennel and your breeding stock. Always remember that both you and your dog represent our wonderful club as well.

Do's and Don'ts of Showing

 

  • Your dog should be immaculately groomed. (See the Grooming Guide.)

  • Train your dog to stand on a grooming table and to stand still. HINT: Use a mirror where the judge would typically stand to get a judge's view.

  • Train your dog to walk on a leash.

  • Act in a professional manner when in the ring and out.

  • Don't ever take a dog in the ring that is in poor health.

  • Don't ever take a dirty or poorly groomed dog in the ring. Your dog should not have more than 5 days growth from a fresh clip.

  • Don't take a dog in the ring that is not lead broke.

  • Don't take a dog in the ring that has not been table-trained.

  • Never be rude to a judge or anyone else inside or outside the ring.
  • Never touch someone else's dog in the ring unless you have asked and been given permission.

  • REMEMBER...You and your dog represent the Mi-Ki breed and our club.
