If you are going to show your canine competitively then you should take into account that you will both need to prepare for the show. For instance, your dog will need to be groomed and trained or prepped for the tasks of the show. You yourself will also need to familiarize yourself with the show grounds, rules, etc. It may be helpful to connect with fellow members of the American Kennel Club to learn about show etiquette and the process for the shows from start to finish. First, you need to make sure you are a member of the AKC. Second, your purebred dog should also be registered with the AKC. As a member of the AKC you will have access to show preparation classes as well as access to several training resources. You will be able to compete in practice shows or ‘match’ shows as well. If you need help with paperwork for registering your purebred, give your vet Dutchess County, NY a call. Schedule an appointment today!
