yay! i always love seeing more people in the show ring.

there is a ton to know about showing dogs. learn as much as you can! i've not done Juniors, but only the breed ring.

always wear nice cloths. NO blue jeans, sweats, etc. a couple nice suits are nice.

you don't always need bait in the ring with you. some judges don't even allow bait in the ring. some dogs do ell without it, some need it to show succesfully.

don't talk to the judge unless you are talked to first! just think of judges as royalty....they kinda are in the dog show world.

watch the rutine the judge uses. they have to use the same one with every dog.

watch the pros! watch all the little tricks and movements they use.

get a mentor. a mentor can help you with all your dog show questions and you can even go to shows together. i was lucky enough to find a wonderful mentor.

buy as many dog show books as possible i recomand "Best Junior Handler" by Anne Olejniczak, "The Simple Guide To Showing Your Dog" by Richard G. Beauchamp. i know of a few more good books too. they have really helped me be succesful in the show ring.

good luck!
