"New Exhibitor" question on entry forms

Basenji Showing
  • I'm filling out the entry forms for Zoni's first couple of shows :eek:. There is an "Are you a new exhibitor?" question at the bottom of all the forms. What is that used for? And how long would I check the box? Just for the very first time? I'm doing a specialty and an all breed show the first weekend and then another all breed show the next weekend.

    Thanks!

    Edit: Also there is an "exhibitor's code" too with five blanks. What is that?

  • The AKC entry forms started asking the question "Are you a new exhibitor?" about a year ago. I think they are trying to find out how many people are starting out in showing. They are also encouraging clubs to offer programs at their shows for new exhibitors. I don't really know that they are making much use of the information though. I have accidently checked the box on a couple of entries.

    The exhibitor number is, I believe, for pro-handlers.

  • Onofrio has an exhibitor's code that they want you to use - but I've only done it when I make online entries.

    I have noticed that many of the shows around here have short seminars or even a handling class for new exhibitors before or after the shows. I think it is a great idea and hope it becomes a standard feature. :)

    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.

    Although I am an European exhibitor I have never heard about this judge. Have you tried to ask at FB?

    Good Luck!! I think not having anyone else in the class might help with your reintroduction to the ring. You won't have to worry about being too close behind or having someone too close to you. You can just focus on your dog.

    Oh, I would love to see him in the Specials - unfortunately, our cousin, without reading the Events Calendar, can you imagine :eek: - decided to get married this weekend so we will miss the Palm Springs shows. How inconsiderate of her, LOL But I hope to see Deb at the club meeting; she'll have big brags! Terry
