Hi All
I've got a few questions about showing my new dog.
Firstly shes an English Bull Terrier with full pedigree and kennel club registered.
As I've only ever had rescue Staffies before this Im a complete Novice when it comes to dog shows.
How would I go about training her for shows and showing her??
Am I out of my depth here? Should I just leave it to the experts??
I just dont know where to start

First thing is contact the KC for details of your nearest ringcraft classes so that you can learn how best to move and show off your bully :) It would also be good to go to a few shows where there are bullies scheduled to see how the 'proffessionals' do it. Personally, I think that bullies are one of the easiest to stand as all you have to do is show them a bit of food and they stand themselves (with a bit of training). My Aussie is like that, all I have to do is say "stand" and show him a bit of food and he places himself beautfully. Again, this is where ringcraft comes in. Hope you have lots of fun!
