i have always been told that my we westy is show quality and now he is 2, i am entering him into a kc show. i have a huge problem. i dont know how to line craft and i dont have long before the show starts. my west is a quite set in his ways and does not always listen to me . i have took him to training classes only for him to cock his leg and be a male. please could you give me few pointers.

Hi
The usual advice is to go to ring craft and also to go along to some shows and watch but since you have already entered the best advice I could give is :-
1/ watch what the dogs in the classes before you do
2/ watch what the judge is expecting the exhibits to do
3/ go in as near last in your class as you can-this will give you time to let your dog settle in the ring
4/ make sure your dog is used to being handled by strangers and having his teeth looked at
5/don't get in the way of other exhibitors-leave room and ensure you don't destract anyone elses dog.
6/ if you've entered a champ show remember you will need to go prepared with either a crate or a benching chain(not sure which westies use)
7/enjoy yourself
Good luck,Archer
