As a complete newcomer to showing dogs, I wonder if someone could tell me where you can buy the show number arm bands. Also, I have seem exhibitors wearing lapel clips that hold the number. Do you have a choice between arm band and croc clip or are you expected to wear the armband particularly at the championship shows. All advice would be appreciated.

PS. I have been taking my dog to ringcraft, and have today entered him for his first open show.

Thanks

You can buy both the armbands and clips at the shows, you can use which ever of the two you want, there are no hard and fast rules.
With the clips you can buy cheap ones (about 50p) or you can get more expensive ones with your breed on them. When you go to your first show, if you get there just before the show starts, you will be able to get one from the stalls that are normally at the shows.

Good luck at your first show.
Karen.

P.s. what breed do you have?

I have a Weimaraner.

Arm bands £ 1.50 and no doubt clips can be bought from DeZynadog - 01553 816400 they will take orders over the phone but are not as far as I know on the net.

Thanks for the info

I have done a recent post for this under the Showing section titled Ringclips- it was fairly recent , so it should still be around if you want to have a mooch .
