Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / 6 months old to enter show?
- By KicksFK [gb] Date 07.03.20 16:45 UTC
Hi,

My pup will be 6 months old one day after a ch show’s first day but the day before our group shows. However, if just adding 6 to the month it says not 6 months until two weeks later.

My questions are:

A.) Do you simply count age as in add, for instance, 6 to 3 if March was the month of birth? Or count 24 weeks on a calendar?

B.) Would my pup be ok to enter this show if I counted the right way or does it have to be the day of?

Thanks!

If a dog was born on the 3rd of march, it will be 6 months old on 3 September. NEVER count calendar weeks, it is calendar months.

Working it this way your pup will be 13 months old on it’s first birthday

The pup has to be six months on the first day of the show

Born on the 3 March it will be six months on the 6 September and able to show interesting that you can show a dog as a puppy on the day of its first birthday as the defintation of a puppy is six to twelve months old

That is because the definition in all schedules, for age classes, are not exceeding 6/9/12/18/24 calendar months on the first day of show!
