Purchase options and add-ons

An astute observer once described the scene at a typical dog show as "organized confusion." While the action may seem more confusion than organization, the reverse is actually true. It just takes a little while to learn this. Dog Showing for Beginners is the ideal means for the budding exhibitor to grasp the essentials and understand what is unfolding before her or him in this unique recreation. Every chapter has something important to tell the reader. Opening with a candid overview of what to expect from being a part of the sport, Dog Showing for Beginners goes on to help find that first show dog and explain how to get started in showing and hands-on learning. Here are simple explanations of how dog shows are structured and how dogs become champions. Excellent guidance on getting the equipment needed and entering shows is included along with how to approach your first show. This book also helps the reader find a place in dog showing and how to deal with the up and the down sides of the game. From beginning to end, Dog Showing for Beginners is touched with an insider's sometimes irreverent whimsy; as the author points out, if you're going to do dog shows, a sense of humor is a definite plus!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for those thinking about entering the world of conformation

This is the first book that my breeder recommended I read as I begin the journey of preparing to get into conformation with my next puppy. This book is full of useful insights about dog showing, including the good, the bad, and the ugly. It provides a very balanced picture of dog showing.

I liked this book because it explains the "how's and why's" of dog showing. For its price, you can not go wrong. I only wished that the author revised this book since within it are dated cost expenses, but if a reader is aware of the published date, they should be able to adjust.

A very nicely written book, with not only dog information, but strategies and different scenarios. I enjoyed her writing style. Was more than I expected. A must have for anyone considering getting started in showing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very outdated!

This book needs to seriously be updated! The author talks about mailing premiums and making phone calls to find out info about shows. Seriously?!? Premiums & entries are available online but this book never mentions websites. Written in 1994 and never updated... You CAN get a basic understanding of how shows work though and this would be so much more useful with a thorough update / revision.
