HI

I am about to go to a local charlty dog show. One of the classes is listed as 6 legs, what does this mean? What do i have to do?

If anyone could let me know i'd be very grateful.

thanks

This is for handler & dog!

Other classes in Exemption/Fun shows could be Irish Brace (dogs least like each other - at 1 show we attended, 1 entry was 3 dogs - entrant's explanation - well, ones an irish setter, one's an irish water spaniel and the other's called Paddy!

A lot of people will make fun of it, putting identical socks on their legs and the dog's legs for instance. The handler normally shows off their legs (i.e. wears shorts or similar) and for lady judges often the blokes do well and vice versa. :) I've seen people wth Dalmatians paint black spots on their own legs and similar. My hubby has skinny legs so always picks our dog with the skinniest legs to go in with. Lots of fun and laughs. :)

Always can be one of the funniest classes of the day!  I have never seen anyone dress up but it normally goes to the person who's showing the most! :D  Can be a horrible class to judge at times (older generation showing everything!!!!!) but also when you get the fit, athletic blokes in...... ;)  Just role your short up as high as they will go!  Do some posing in the ring, flaunting your legs and make everyone laugh!!!!

:D Knew I should have chosen to steward novelty classes on sunday rather then pedigree! I have just reminded myself how much fun it can be encouraging people to do this!!!!!

Usually quite funny especially when the owner has hairy knobbly knees.  Companionship shows are so much fun and I love going in for them.

That would be me then :D :D :P
