    @nomrbddgs: When dogs are out, they definitely do act different. There are new things to experience. But once they've been exposed to the ring a couple of times, they settle down. We lived in Niagara Falls for many, many years and I would take my dogs to the heart of the tourism area and walk up and down the sidewalk. Loud noises, buses, different types of people,etc was excellent for them. When obedience training, this was perfect. It taught them to be distraction proof. Ill have to take her for walks down main street and stuff when it warms up a bit… Vanderlae would love that and i know the dogs would too! hehe and i agree it will help with the distractions! :D

    Great small bags on etsy.com and cherrybrook.com. This one looks good too: http://www.amazon.com/Travel-Money-Passport-Security-Waist/dp/B001MTUJRM The best one will be one you feel you can carry treats and maybe keys, poop bag, cell phone, etc.

    Our Breed Council organises breed seminars in the UK for aspiring judges which they have to pass to progress up the judging lists (I was an assessor at the last one and am a KC approved judge for Basenjis). The colours are definitely gone through thoroughly and we try to have representatives of at least the main four colours, though the brindles and especially blacks are very thin on the ground and Ruby and Bryn have done sterling service as colour reps! At the last seminar there were examples of both regular and barred tris. At the moment we have no recessive blacks in the show ring and rarely do, but the colour is mentioned in the presentation with an explanation of how it tends to change with age. There has not been a trindle shown here to the best of my knowledge so we have yet to tackle that thorny issue. The BC presentation emphasises clear, rich, well-demarcated colours. Naturally some judges see colour as more of a priority than others. I do try to ensure that there is a b/w at the seminars if at all possible, as many upcoming judges may never have seen one and probably never gone over one.

    @Terry: Onofrio has an exhibitor's code that they want you to use - but I've only done it when I make online entries. Terry Okay, It was Onofrio so that makes sense now. I noticed on the premium for the all breed show that they have a "new exhibitors" briefing, so maybe the checkbox helps them alert us newbies.

    @soulmate: Never heared of these judges before. But I have to tell you, that I am quite happy with these lots of new judges no one knows already. So you never know, what you can expect….. Regards, Esther That's True! :D On my showlist there are many unknown judges! Only hope they all know enough of B's :D @ibi_n_sane: well mrs, Broecker, she judges my ibizans once on a show in the morning and later she called them back as she had to judge the pharaohhounds… she is also not very carefull and really rough with the dogs she judges. said enough? >grin< but for the group you should not care about this ;) Thanks :D For the group judgements we don't mind the judge.. But to call in an Ibizan for a Pharaoh… hmz... hahahaha (did they play in the mud the day before show???)
