Very good intro to the sport of dog showing June 26, 2000
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Good Showing is a very basic, introductory book for people new to the world of dog shows. It would be useful for show spectators (good manners at shows, understanding what is going on in the ring) or for someone just beginning to consider getting involved in dog showing. If you are already at the point of owning a show dog, you know (or certainly should know) everything this book can tell you. A lot of the material is common sense and common courtesy-be sure your dog is well trained and well groomed, clean up after your dog, dress properly for the ring, follow the judge's instructions. There is a chapter on the considerable costs of owning and showing a dog, which would be a helpful eye-opener to someone thinking of getting into the sport.Caveat: Peggy Grayson is a British judge, and these books contain details specific to The Kennel Club. I enjoyed finding out about the British dog world and the KC system, but if you are not British, some sections of the books can be ignored, as they deal with how to fill out KC forms, specific KC regulations, and so forth.
