Do you show your dog???

[cocker_luva]

we decided not to show Jesse, but her registered name is Jessica James Bond

[Kymcole25]

Yes, we show 4 of our dogs...the other's are either not show quality or are mixes.

[gkristian]

we can't show foxy because he's to big, but i'd love to do with my next dog just for the experience

[binka_nugget]

Nope. Kai's not registered (supposed to be.. but he isn't due to the fact that his breeder is an idiot ). He isn't close to show quality anyways.. And Kaedyn's a rescue.

If I happen to get a dog from a breeder again (except for the BC since I can't show it anyways), I'd like to show it if I can.. just for the experience.

[sammy101]

mine are mixes so nope . but i would like to experience it

[Jessika]

I don't show either of my pups, well Charlie isn't too "breed standard", and with Jamie I might have but she has pink in her nose and so it would be pointless to since she wouldn't win anything LOL

Not to mention I just don't have the funds, training, OR experience.

Nope. Kai's not registered (supposed to be.. but he isn't due to the fact that his breeder is an idiot ).

Same goes for Tikeya, Baby, and Oscar .. Baby was suppost to be registered, but her breeder said that her mother wasn't.. I recently found out that Baby's mother is registered and the breeder lied to me!! GRR.. whatever, papers dont mean much to me.. But i would have loved to put her in the altered class .

i showed Gracie until Feb. when she was DQ for being 1 1/2in ovr the breed standard. she's just my loving companion now. i'm in the works of getting a new show dog though.

[wolf_Q]

No, none of my dogs are show quality. My future dogs will be rescues so I couldn't show them. I'm not interested in having unspayed/unneutered dogs running around my house anyway.

[dab_20]

Molli is a mix so I can't show her. But her full name is Good Golly Miss Molli. Sammy I think is about the right size... even though he's got filling out to do. But he probably doesn't have the right conformation because he wasn't bred from show dogs. Plus I have no interest showing at all.

Same here.

Nope. Dale wasn't show quality...he was on the small end for a male Swissie (100 lbs.), but also wasn't full grown yet. We were thinking about it with Harlee, but for one, her nose isn't completely black (yet)...still has pink blotches (which I love, btw)...and to be honest, just don't have the time to persue it right now. She would be show quality, if her nose was all black Our breeder is big into showing..he has had a dog or 2 of his to Westminster. Maybe in the way future, we would consider it with another dog. I wouldn't want to (share) her with a handler, lol. And I also might be too shy to go in the ring anyway

[cloverfdx]

No never have never will. The breed i have and will always have is Border Collies and i dont agree with showing dogs that were bred to work.

[ParNone]

Nope, hard to believe, but these two cuties are not show quality:



They both were the last of their litters to be chosen. All the show people passed'em over. Gull mainly due to his eyes and Oz due to his coloring. All those picky show standards really worked to my advantage though. I haven't seen a show Smooth Collie yet, that I think holds a candle to Oz in the looks department and both he and Gull are loving and smart as whips. Wouldn't trade'em for nothing.

Par...

I show my mixed-breed dogs from time to time.

There's an organization near me where you can take and show mixed-breed (neutered!) dogs. It's pretty much for fun, to learn how to handle a dog, and they are judged based on health and temperament. I think it's a great program, I'm going to try and find the info on it and post it here.
