Dog show

In my family we all like dogs, that's why we like to visit dog shows too.

Traditionally in our town  from 2 to 5 shows take places  per year .

They are different:

- some of them just for showing dogs, for their exterior

Judges look at them and decide which one is the best suits it breed.

- some of them for testing dogs' work

For different work police or hunters dogs show to judges how their work.

And all this grades very important for dogs and their owners, it allow or disallow you to breed those dogs.

Our dogs are usually mongrels from shelters and we are not breeders,thus we don't pretend to participate in such show, but we really like to watch them.

Also we have many friends from those dog owners, and it always a pleasure to meet them.

My older boy likes dogs too,


and  he always asks me to visit such shows.

The hardest part of my job there is to explain him that we can't buy all these dogs, which he always wants too.

Because there are many people who love dogs, such shows always are too crowded,

and they longs the whole day.

There are many rings for different breeds, and many people visit only their favorite rings, for instance it can be ring of German shepherds from 10 to 11 am.

It helps keep that place not so crowded as it be if all the rings start in the same time.



Our next dog will be Giant Schnauzer:

that's why we visited show in time when it was their ring.

Since this breed is not a decorative only but used for service too, these dogs have to participate in show and in tests too.

We will visit such performance many times, we will look on dogs and their breeders before we choose one breeder, and after we sign the contract with him and will wait when our puppy will be born.

From my experience it too hard to have a puppy and a toddler at home in the same time, so we have to wait an year  unless my younger boy grows up.
