so sorry put this in the wrong place and i don't know how to change it to the showing forum

Hi Lorraine,

I dont know where you are in london, but the best thing to do is get yourself down to a bull breed ring craft as they are shownin a different way to many other dogs. There is only one that i know off, adn used to go to before life got horribly hectic with packing up the flat etc.

Definately worth it, even if you have to travel.

Hi Lorraine
I dont know of any ring craft classes in your area as I live in the north but if you go to your local vets they can normally give you some phone numbers.
Th other thing to do is attend some shows and watch your breed-you will learn a lot this way and you will be able to speak to people who show.Try and go to some open and champ shows so that you can see the difference but most of all if its what you want to do -go for it-its great fun!!
Regards Nikki.
P.S.
Information on shows can be found in the weekly dog papers.

There is a list of Breed Club Secretarys at www.bullterriernpbtc.homestead.com/
(The Northern Provincial Bull Terrier Club)

I have heard there is a Bull Terrier ringcraft club around London somewhere, try contacting one of the local secs, they will know.
