Purebred dog show No 2.

[Danielle]

You all asked for it, so here it is peeps!

K9mania's second purebred dog show!:D

Now, it will be the same rules as last time, but for the ppl who didnt enter or werent here at the time, it goes as follows....

1. Groom your dog up. Either at a groomers or at home. Bath, blowdry, etc.

2. Stack your dog in a professional style. Here's a link to show you how. http://www.ehow.com/video_2348488_stack-dog-show-ring.html

3. Snap away! Try to get a few different shots of your dog and choose the best one to post.

4. Judging will be based on conformation first and foremost. Then grooming and stance.

Good luck kids!:D

P.S. The winning dog will receive a prize in the mail, all the way from australia, so get into it folks!

[6dogmom]

[LoveMyLabs]

I am going to try and get a newer, better pic of Gunner this weekend and enter. :)

[sizzledobes]

Oooo very tough! I've got quite a few good ones! I've got two photos - one has proven to be more appealing to breeders and longtime people in the breed, the other has been the favorite of people not-so-experienced in the breed. I'm taking a risk here... but I'll post the photo that breeders like. :)

I love your blonde boys, cockermom! I wish that my hair shone like theirs! EVerybody's dogs are gorgeous. I tried last night, but it ended with me on the floor with 3 dogs licking my face somehow. So I'll recruit my Danny to help me take the pics.

[LoveMyLabs]

Top Notch Gunner
3 1/2 years old

It's the closest to a side shot I could get by myself. We trained him to 'sit' when they want what's in our hand so getting him to stay standing was a task in itself.

LMAO, this is how I end up with Gizmo, we just end up in a wrestling match.

[elsasmom]

What eye candy these pics are:D

I'd hate to have to judge these. You all have some beautiful dogs.

Wolfwalker: Is the black face a usual marking? I really like Shasti's colors.

All these different breeds would be like comparing apples to oranges. Good luck to the judge;)

[elsasmom]

I want a cocker and a dobe and a springer and a pappy and...and...

[LoveMyLabs]

Gunner and Tira always have shiny coats. :) Funny thing is, Gunner had just finished playing baseball. His mouth is all dirty with his tongue hanging out, lol. Oh well, he's still our big lovebug!

[CerbiesMom]

Here's Brigit, a miniature dachshund, age 2 years.

Yes it is seen as essential to the Kennel Club Standard Elsasmom.

Kennel Club Giant Schnauzer - Colour
Pepper and salt: Shades range from dark iron grey to light grey; hairs banded black/light/black. Dark facial mask essential, harmonising with corresponding body colour.

[speedwayspringer]

i agree with ya mom...some lovely doggies on here..it will be a tough decison for the judge..best of luck everyone:)

[sandyb]

I think those beautiful Springers will take some beating - they are just gorgeous.

[6dogmom]

Conner - NKC/UKC Registered American Bulldog - 17 months old

[6dogmom]

Keegan - NKC Registered American Bulldog - 14 months old

[6dogmom]

Keegan did better than Conner. They are both my crazy bullies. I love them none the less.

[CerbiesMom]

I can't believe those are the babies, 6dogmom! That's insane! They've grown into some good looking dogs. Everyone's dogs look so lovely. And I'm with elsasmom; I want one of every variety.

And: I love Chevy! He's the most gorgeous dog I think I've ever seen. I love GSPs.

[speedwayspringer]

thanks Cerbie and Sandy,
i like everyone's pups of my own but i love to see everyones dogs:) it would be a hard time for me to judge all these guys they are all really nice

[sizzledobes]

Might as well include the corgi too.... definitely just for the fun of it, since she doesn't have a champion in her pedigree anywhere... she's from working stock lines. ;) Mom and Dad weren't champions, but they worked with the stock for 8-12 hours a day.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/lhartlep/Ada/11Feb1199.jpg

[speedwayspringer]

sizzle,

that is one nice looking Corgi....we used to breed them :) always have a place for a corgi..:)

[sizzledobes]

I'm getting excited to see the results of the purebred show. :D

[Danielle]

I do apologise at the lateness of my reply in this thread! The reason is that it has been so hard to choose a winner, they are all so great and its torturous to have to choose!

Unfortunately I couldnt choose just one, so we have two winners for this comp! Those gorgeous dogs are.........

Speedway Springer's "Tri Star"!

Tristar's grooming is impecible! He is well muscled with perfect balance. What a well rounded looking animal, he is a perfect example of his breed!

Well done SpeedwaySpringer!



Our other winner for this comp is Sizzledobes' "Kaylee"!

Kaylee has a great topline and a nice 'extreme' head and neck. She is very typey and at such a young age will be a hard bitch to beat in the ring.

Well done Sizzledobes!

Can both Sizzledobes and Speedwayspringer please PM me your postal address and you will receive your prizes in the mail in a few weeks!

Id love to address each dog that entered, but i think the post would end up too long, so congrats to all, your dogs are just beautiful!

[sandyb]

Well done Tristar and Kaylee - a well deserved win!!

[speedwayspringer]

OMG!!!! Thank you Thank You!!! it was tough competition for sure...i also loved Sizzle's dog...all the dogs were great.

We are very humbled...as Bentley is a real tough dog to groom...he isn't a fan of the clippers near his head for some reason...ugh but with two of tackling him we get it done:) the body is a peice of cake.

[turfgirl]

:) Congrats to you both, well deserved wins. I would love to enter Lexcee, but I do not let her hair grow :o I like the puppy cut so I guess she would not qualify for this lol. The price we pay lol Hugs Susan & Lexcee (the puppy cut puppy)

[sizzledobes]

Thank you so much! This was a lot of fun! Congrats speedway!

[Danielle]

Its so unfair being the judge, I want to put them all up as winners!

I think in the next comp someone else can be judge and Ill post my kids' pics and enter! Takes the strain off me having to choose.

Now, who wants to be next comps judge?

[sizzledobes]

I can do it, if you'd like. :)

[hcromley]

im sad i missed this comp but with the float tripi was so busy...i will enter next time for sure cant wait

[Danielle]

You asked for it Sizzle!

Sizzledobes is officially the judge for the next purebred comp!

[sizzledobes]

Woohoo! When should the next "virtual show" be? Should we wait a bit to give people a chance to get some different photos if they need to?

Some background on me, just so people know my background...

... I've shown several breeds, I've been showing for about 11 years now. I started out showing corgis for one of my early mentors. I've worked for a few professional handlers - a cocker spaniel handler, a shih tzu/poodle handler, and two all-breed handlers. I've shown corgis, whippets, a great dane, setters (english and irish), sibes, a few aussies (though never very well - their heads are in the clouds, I'm used to more serious dogs!), german pinschers and obviously several dobermans. I was never allowed to take in any poodles, shih tzus or cockers. I just did the grooming. ;)

I show in AKC and UKC. I've owner-handled Kaylee to 6 AKC points so far (I've had her less than 6 months), as well as her UKC championship. Not hard to do, but she finished with a Best in Show. :)

[speedwayspringer]

I recieved my lovely prize for Bentley today in the mail. I can't wait to try it on him.
Blue is his color for sure:) hopefully it will bring him lots of luck at the shows:)

thanks again for the fun show...let's do it again soon:D

[sizzledobes]

Yep, Kaylee got her presents too... THANK YOU AGAIN!!! :D

Right now I'm working on the pre-nationals issue of The Doberman Pinscher Magazine, but one I get it squared away in the next week or two I'll start Show #3. :)

[mfirza]

Great Info Danielle, ..

[Sarah_G]

I had searched for a while for a dog coat that could keep my baby clean straight from the groomers. I couldn't find the right thing so....

I have recently started a company called Doggie Macs Ltd, we make made to measure waterproof dog coats for those who like to endulge their pets. They won't break the bank and will definately save money in the long run from minimising future groomer trips, carpet cleaning, bathing etc. They can even reduce the risk of catching fleas from other dogs.

Please check them out and leave me some feedback on what you think of the product, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!
