On the morning of the fixture arise early leaving home at a time
which will allow you to travel to the show venue without panic.
On arrival at the Show:
- Park
your vehicle where directed.
- Attend
to your dog so that it is comfortable whilst awaiting your call
to the judging ring. Under no circumstances leave your dog in
your vehicle during hot weather.
- Collect
your exhibit number from the Secretary's office if this was
not returned in your stamped addressed envelope.
- Present
your catalogue slip to the Secretary's office and on receipt of
your catalogue cheek your entry in the class (or classes) entered
and assess the approximate time your breed will be judged by:
a.
Allowing approx. 40 catalogue exhibit numbers per hour.
b. Keeping the
judging ring in view so that you can see what breed is in the
judging ring at any time.
- Before
you bring your dog to the ring, and again when you are waiting
to be called in for your class, watch how the Judge is going
about his task. Almost every Judge employs a different
technique, how he parades the dogs, where he stops them, which
pattern of movement he requires, where he places the dogs he
fancies in the initial stages, how he views different handling
methods and so on. An intelligent exhibitor can learn
a lot by carefully observing the Judge's methods and requirements.
- Present
your exhibit at the ringside in sufficient time to be able to
answer the Steward's call.
