Show training thread….

It is the same with weims, but if you look at those breeds with tails, they tend to hold them out straight………..

Mind you it depends on how long your arms and the tails are!

[kizkiznobite]

out in the field it a nightmare just coping with the feathering…in fact cubert has very little tatty scratty feathering at the moment …had to cut out so many burrs …a right mess…lord knows what i would do with it if i wanted to show him…dont know how the show folk that also work are coping…
also he carries it different according to what he doing…if he street walking he relaxes it into a a slight curve and low carriage but in the field free running he stretches it on …setter style….the other problem with it is he wags it in a circle more than just side to side so it picks up all sorts to crap and dust and mud…also and this is interesting…there is a sharp sudden thinning …not gradual …of the actual tail at the point were a dock would have been taken to…almost as if it had started to happen genetically…weird

so sorry izz…cant help with tail carriage  🙂

The thread is for Val and other to teach people how to stand their dog not to point out Livia’s hairy feet.

Yes I know they need trimming, no I wont do it till I been shown how to do it properly no point me buggering it up so close to the shows.

Wow Izzie she’s looking gorgeous and has certainly grown, pretty girl  :-*

Good luck with the showing Izzie, I’m sure you’ll learn loads as you go along  🙂

[Izzie]

SP, was told that Tail should be carried level with back and feathered and looks like golden retreivers tail

thanks Nat, will sort out walkies soon with you and Piper  🙂

[Val]

Nope IMO it’s about the whole dog we know Izzie is a novice in the world of showdogs so I guess she will get someone to trim them at a show.
Showing is not just about stacking a dog the whole picture has to be right.
Bev her head was a little high in some of her pictures but the stand was much better than some that were sent to me.
As for tails coming from a none docked breed IMO they should be carried as Cubert is carrying his at the end of the day they are a working dog so they need the tails for balance which means carried low when walking and out like a arrow for balance when moving at speed.
Please lets not have bickering over the posts just enjoy the fact we have a pupster hopefully setting out to be a showdog with tidy feet coming later and hopefully a bit more body feathering.

VALLL!!!!

Took Livia to a companion Show today, was nervous as hell and she got 2nd in AV pedigree puppy and 4th in Working/gundog/hound  ;D ;D ;D and judge was a clumber man! think she would have done better if she didnt bliming bounce and go into manic puppy mode  ::) :baby:

also met another 3 clumbers who immediately recognised her lines, they have a Heibax girlie – a working clumber and an oldie whose name I cant remember :-[

[Izzie]

He has tweedsmuir in him! the oldie boyo that is!  ;D

[Val]

Great
The way I stop the bouncy bit ( you ain’t seen nothing until you see a beardie bounce)is stop and just say steady thats all in time she will stop, but by you stopping and using a word she will get there.
Well Done
Val

Right ok, I did get steady in and she then went into walking properly, and did the good show pretty too
Didnt think about stopping though  :-[

Was a fair few people who were obviously pro’s at showing, one woman got the right hump with me when her vizla tried to mug me! ::)
