please could anybody help me find the right training methods and also what clubs i could join?
thank you for your help

Ringcraft will show you how to stand, walk and handle your dog in the ring - plus will also help him socialise and feel comfortable artound lots of dogs
:)

You don't say where you live but get in touch with the kennel club and they will send you a list of ring craft clubs in your area.
Though they don't list them all so it might be worth posting another note asking for details of ring craft training in  ?????

Would not hurt to speak to your dogs breeder and join the breed Club, if your breeder is into showing they will offer invaluable advice and if they are not they should be able to introduce you to someone who is. I take it you dog is KC registered if you are in the UK or if elsewhere by your national kennel club.

Also if you are in the UK and the dog is KC registered it is only allowed to enter the import register classes and nothing else.

Good luck with your baby :d

DBB have their own classes now don't they?????  We have compeated against them in AVNSC classes I am sure!!!!

No, they are still on the import register, if you have competed against some in AVNSC they should'nt have been in that class !!

If you are not in touch with the DDB club and would like to be contact John Wood,01945 466121. We had a companion show today and there was 80 Dogue de Bordeaux there, it was the biggest turnout of DDB's meeting in one place ever in this country, there was also a puppy walk with pups from 12 weeks, these Dogue's are usually not show side on, but face on to the judge, but unforturately we had to leave early 10 mins after we got there, as we got a call as we had a bitch that decided she would welp early, but from the phone calls I have had tonight it was a great gathering very friendly, with beatifull weather
