"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.

    @DebraDownSouth: WTG! OMG though 103.. so you have to beat dogs, not individual shows points,or are the wins high points or what for a championship? Here a champion is 15 points, but you must have 3 majors (ie a win worth 3 to 5 points) in that. IOW the most you can get for a win is 5 pts. That would be 2 majors, not three

    @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???)

    Nicky's tail unfurls fine but there are two permanent kinks in his tail. These kinks are small but do prevent the tail from looking natural if curled to the opposite side.

    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.
