So you want to show your dog?
Welcome to a life-changing journey of really odd jargon and etiquette - a world of competition and beautiful dogs, a place to 'hurry up and wait', where you pack up and cart all your household belongings, and back again tomorrow, where you practice your skills for months on end and forget them all when you go in the ring. Of losing, and losing, and losing, and smiling bravely.... and then winning!
And coming back for more!
