Last weekend I went to my first dog show, as did my girl! She took best of variety in all 4 shows over the weekend but that’s with only 4 points going toward her championship.
I would like to go somewhere with a little more competition next but it’s hard to find unless you really travel given that they’re a much more rare breed.
Also, judges at this show didn’t seem to really know the breed so they had a hard time appreciating any of them if they made it into groups. I had to remind every single judge that they are a thumb breed and I don’t show the bite for them.
Anyways, all in all it was fun. I might need to make the trip to Kalamazoo for the nationals next.

She’s gorgeous!! I love to see anyone showing up in shows!!! Facebook has lots of dog groups that talk about local shows if you haven’t already looked!

love cavaliers! My dogs are English toy spaniels. Also known as “King Charles spaniels”. Close cousins to the cavalier!

I did! Thank you! I was very underprepared for my first show and was told others would just bring their grooming tools and it wasn’t quite what I would have used. But it got the job done. I know better for next time now lol.
