Suzanne asks:

I am entering in a friendly, fund-raiser dog show in May.  Last year, my puppy took two seconds and a first, but this year as she is now an adult, what can I do to show her best? How do I get her to hold her head? (down, up, level topline, etc)  The judges are AKC judges, volunteering for the cause, so they will know what to look for, but I don’t know what they  look for in the working breed class.  Most entrants are off the street, but I know there will be a few nice dogs that are shown whose owners like to enter their dogs for the practice. (I am just too competitive for my own good, and love to win.)

Show Tips

From Suzanne

What the best way to show my dog in the ring?  Head up, down, level top line, etc.  This is a benefit dog show, so not a “real” show, but there will be some good dogs there, as it’s a good place to get your dog prepared if you do real showing.  I don’t show her but she is quite a picture to see, so I want to show her at her best.  (Plus I’m way too competitive for my own good :) !   Any other tips on coat, leashes, chokers, etc. would be helpful.
