Exhibitions are held in all countries in order to determine the quality of the breeding herd of pedigreed dogs. Enrolled in dog shows, exhibits in so-called ring. Ring - a place marked off to pass the examination of the dogs. Dogs are divided by sex and age (junior, middle, senior classes).

Came to the ring judges evaluate the dogs according to breed standard. The standard describes the exterior (external structure) dogs, a characteristic type of behavior, the possibility of this breed. Our country has adopted the method of comparative evaluation of dogs examination. This means the judge consistently puts all the dogs that are in the ring, depending on their qualities, starting with the best and the worst ending.

When the ring apart, the owners announced evaluation, and then begins a description of dogs with a tail ", ie with the latter group. The dog comes to the table expert, who describes her overall appearance, to become (part of the body), limb movement, temperament and demeanor in the ring, the quality of the preparations for the exhibition (the state of hair, muscle, overall tone, behavior). The dog must know how beautiful, energetic walk like a step, and trot on a leash, lifting his neck, gathering body.

At the request of the judge, the owner of a dog bite, and shows her teeth.

Of great importance in assessing the dog has a stand in the ring. Situation of her body should be as advantageous. To do this, put the dog on an absolutely flat surface, the front legs are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. Her head with a raised neck forms a nice line, typical for this breed. Regulation of the hind legs as follows: the closest to the owner of the leg is slightly closer to the front legs, the other - ousted on, but so as not to disrupt the stability of the proportions of the dog. For each species there is a certain characteristic type of racks, feed the dog in the best shape.

In our country every year by various clubs and societies held dozens of exhibitions. The same dog, often at fairs can occupy different places and even get different estimates. The reason for this variety. First, the dog is not enough prepared for the exhibition. In long-haired and wire-haired breeds greater role played by the preparation of wool. Does the assessment and its mood: listless, dejected dog lowers his head, relaxes muscles and, of course, loses collected, energetic dog, fun runs around the ring. Secondly there is some subjectivity and judges. Thus, the standards for the description of rocks encountered the expression "head moderately long," or "proportional" or "strong bones" and so Judges may have a different interpretation of such definitions, according to their experience and qualifications.

That is why, in foreign countries to obtain the highest title a dog must confirm their excellent quality at various exhibitions and have different judges. Preparing dogs for show career starts with two months of age, only if your pet is good performance in the ring ...

First of all, teach the puppy to stand in the correct position / description stands above. First, to study at home, then on the street in a troubled place, then on the ground among dogs, gradually increasing the training time from two seconds to a minute. Teach your puppy not go pulling on the leash, step and risyu, in a circle and triangle.

Walking on the triangle (from the judge - check the rear legs, before the judge - check the dog from the side and the motion to the judge - check the upper limbs) is required for all foreign exhibitions. The expert, who came to evaluate our dogs from another country, would require the holder of such a show dog. Engage with the dog for 10-15 minutes on each exercise, do not overdo it, gradually accustomed to the longer standing and a certain type of movement: a trot and pace.

Every year the dogs we have become more competitive in the exhibition all the more serious and without a special, long-term training you can not win a prize. The dog must be presented at the exhibition in the best physical shape: not overweight, but do not be thin, and with a very well developed musculature.

Particular attention should be paid to wool. Can not ignore its daily combing. None of the barber in the world can not prepare a perfect dog on the eve of the exhibition, if it matted, dusty wool.

So, your pet should be able to move in the ring, standing in a beautiful pose during the inspection, allow the experts to inspect the mouth, allow the expert to touch him to accurately determine the quality of individual body parts: chest, abdomen, ribs, shoulders, neck, zachastuyuskrytyh hair. This, too, must teach the dog daily.

If you already have an adult dog, is not able to do all that it should be, do not be disheartened. Take up the case immediately. However, remember that all procedures should bring the joy of a dog, so it takes patience, calm, do not overdo it and do not forget to reward the pet, after the required one.

Not only the dog but the owner should seriously prepare for the exhibition, so as not to turn the holiday in torment. So that you may need to show?

First of all, do not forget to documents: veterinary health certificate, pedigree, an invitation to the exhibition, working diplomas.

Check equipment dog: leash, collar. They must be smart, convenient, reliable and not so new: the dog must get used to them during training.

Do not forget to comb, brush, scissors, if you are preparing a dog for exhibition. In case of rain, take an umbrella for myself, but for the dog a piece of polyethylene. Umbrella and save from the burning rays of the sun. Bring water and a bowl for the dog. Do not use other people's dishes.

Do not interfere with your couple of sandwiches and water - is often impossible to move away from the ring in search of food. In the morning you feed your dog a light meal, not thirsty, for example, cottage cheese. Before returning home, it can not be fed.

Stock up a small folding chair, because the exhibition has to be five or more hours. Your Clothes should be comfortable, as well as shoes, which is chosen in view of long standing and walking. And above all, try not to worry and not to bother the dog. Your mood immediately transmitted on four-footed friend that affect its behavior.
