Who shows ?

First topic message reminder :

Does any one on here show there staffs,iv been thinking about having a go just as a bit of fun,and also i think it will be good to socialise my pup (allthough i realise the dog has to be 6months old to enter a show)

I show my Sierra and as someone said, yes it can be considered a fulltime job the days before the show...

The dog have to bathed and get the coat takencare of perhaps trim the tail a bit if it is a littlebit bushy

You have to pack alot of stuff also like water, and food to the dog a cleaning cloth to wipe of the dog before entering the ring and so on, campingchairs to sit on and a crate for the dog between the shows

Oh man yes there is alot of work before a show...

And yes it is expensive...

OMG, Hollie, what a stunning dog in your profile pic

I like Blue's, why i think their " Not desirable" is because of the diluted gene. Is it right that because of this they can suffer with skin conditions? Thats why some people dont promote them. Breeding to better the breed, as the saying goes, but how can this happen with blues if people continue Blue on Blue Breeding. Like i said, i have nothing against blues, but what i've said above is what i hear alot of.

I show , and really enjoy my weekends at shows , but it is expensive especially with the price of petrol these days! I also judge Staffordshire Bull Terriers and i can honestly say I do not judge on colour , a good dog is a good dog no matter what colour ! I would not pay and neither would i charge any more for a blue puppy . Blues are certainly not rare and as someone has pointed out they are a dilute gene of black .. 58% of Staffords reg at the KC in 2012 were BLUE .. making the other colours in the standard more rare than blue!
