We show Standard Poodles, probably the most labour intensive breed to prepare for a show, and we are always happy to let members of the public interact with our dogs. Even a fully groomed show poodle with a topknot full of hairspray has some part of the coat accessible for a pat. However, we do expect basic dog courtesy, ask permission, let the dog smell the back of their hand, not pat them on the head or ears and not when we are about to go in the show ring. We often take one of our retired dogs to a show just so there is a poodle available for the public to pat without having to worry about their coat. We are there to promote our beautiful purebreed dogs. We have also seen members of the public do really stupid things around dogs. Recently at a country show, a whole family came up to our dogs in their puppy pen with a blanket around the side, approached from behind and lent over the top of the pen and tried to pat them. We were distracted watching the ring, nearly ready to go in to show and didn't see the family even though we were standing right beside the pen. Dogs went beserk. The whole family got lectured about dog safety, I am an educator with the Resonsible Pet Ownership program.

After a busy few weeks of neuter shows in 3 states im proud to say Vegas is now top neuter in Australia :-) Vegas won 2/3 NEUTER IN SHOWS this weekend in Albury. We had 3 neuters in grp 7.

One of our Standard poodles in lamb trim was refered to as a short coat poodle and our show dog in continetal trim was the long coat. The "expert" went on to explain to his friend that only the long coated poodles could be shown!

Ta. Vet didnt mention chance of early seasons... According to reading 1 to 3 months early is possible.

After an accident last season (right dogs wrong timing) we used alizin just to be sure. My bitch hS now come in season 4 months after her shot. so far her seasons have been: 8, 6, 4 months My readings on alizin is extremely safe and has no after affects. Experiences? Or does my girl just have strange seasons?
