Something that has been touched on in another post so just wanted to ask -
Do you have to dress up for a Champshow ??
Lel

Yes , going naked is frowned upon

:D :D

The rules say you must be respectable meaning modest. but short are OK if they are not too short. In pratice it is best to dress to show your dog off best, do not wear black if you show a black dog of white with a white one. Don't flap too much or have a skirt that blows across the dogs head just when the judge comes to check his expresion. Neat and tidy is the best way, but clean jeans and a shirt are fine. Just be moderate in all things and you should be fine.

You want to look smart - some people go way over the top :rolleyes: but the important thing is not to detract the judge's eye from your dog. So wear something comfortable (especially comfortable, non-slippy shoes - no high heels) and won't hide your dog's outline. If you have a dark coloured dog, don't wear dark trousers, or your dog will disappear!

Mel,
that would be one h**l of a show then :D

*Giggle*

Was anyone at Chepstow (South Wales) last year, watching Mastiffs, I think, - the Rottie Judge in the next ring had to stop judging so that everyone could enjoy the view of a pink (almost tan coloured) short shorts & tank top set of an exhibitor (she certainly don't carry a lot of coat was one comment :D :D). Like a lot of the males, Al's eyes were hitting his glasses!

(Don't know whether she won her class or not!)

I did think about a Kilt but settled for Breeks and red garter flashes!

And a hip flask?

Damson Gin! ;)

Now John, what you put in it is up to you.
