Hi everyone
                I have this gorgeous siberian husky and need to know what she needs befor she can enter a show like does she need to be k.c reg or fully trained to do what......Im just wondering as shes so gorgeous also shes quite chunky for her age will this have an effect on the marks???

If you want to show you dog in open shows, champ shows etc... She will need to be KC registered to enter them. Go to ringcraft lessons they will help you on how to stand and show your dog. How do you mean by "Chunky"? as they are some chunky looking siberians out there. It depends on what Judge you go under some prefer the working types like mine and others prefer the american lines which have a thicker coat making them look more chunky. Both types are fantastic, or try to go under an all rounder judge that likes both types.
It just depends on the judge you go under on the day. They judge on looks, movement, confirmation and how the dog is handled.

Good luck

you ask fully trained???  I have yet to take a dog to its first shows that is fully trained!!!

The only real way to know if your dog will do well at showing is to enter some shows and find out.  I the owners eyes there dogs are the best, but to a judge this is different, so enter a few shows and see how you go.  Many people will be pleased to help you.
