Join a ringcraft club they will be able to help you with all your questions. Who cares if your dog is of good standard if you think you will enjoy showing have a go. Ja:)kie

what about the kennel club?

"what about the Kennel Club" ?
They will send a list of clubs in your area, is that what you meant?

well i suppose so as good a place as any if they cant help you directly surely they can point you in the right direction???

The best place to look for dog clubs in your area would be the vets or pet food shops. Both nearly always have poster for clubs on display. Scooby, I'm sorry but I don't always under stand very short criptic posts, not trying to rub you up the wrong way just trying to understand what you are getting at.

Hi
As far as visiting shows is concerned it depends on what kind of show and how far you want to travel.
The season for Championship shows is almost finished-The last one this year is LKA in Birmingham and then Manchester in Febuary.
The easiest place to find out about Open shows is one of the Dog papers which you can get at any newsagent although you may have to order it if its not on the shelf.
