If you are looking to compete with your purebred canine in a dog show then you will need to decide if you will be competing on a local, national, or international level. If you’re not sure, talk with your veterinarian as he may be able to assist you in your decision. If you’re not familiar with the world of dog showing then local shows will most likely give you the start you need. If you are looking to compete in American Kennel Club (AKC) shows then you will need to follow their process to begin. The AKC suggests attending at least one dog show before signing up to compete. Your canine will also need to be registered with the AKC club and be at least 6 months or older on the day of the show. If in doubt, talk with your animal hospital Oconomowoc, WI to ensure your dog has not been spayed or neutered which could disqualify your dog from competing in confirmation classes.
