    Hi all,
    Would anyone have any advise on where to begin learning about showing a pedigree dog. I know nothing about dog shows and am finding it hard to get information.
    Based in Limerick Clare area.
    Thanks

    Normally the secretaries of your breeds group will have information regarding showing them as well as showing classes. I was going to show mine but she'll be spayed next week so she won't be accepted. Best of luck and let us know what happened.

    You can only show intact dogs ...after all the purpose of showing is a "beauty contest" in order to determine which dogs are closest to the breed standard and should be used for (in:D )breeding and which ones aren't and shouldn't.

    A dog incapable of breeding is of no use to the breed clubs

    Most agricultural shows have Dog Shows. These are the best shows to go to if you are starting out and you'll meet loads of people (there are always the same faces at all the shows). This website will give you all the details of the shows coming up this year http://www.irishshowsassociation.ie
