Hi everyone, my 6.5 month old boy Jaeger and I are getting ready for our first show. He's a flasy fawn and natural eared. We have been attending conformation classes 2X a week for the past 2 months ( before that we were doing socialization/conformation)... Jaeger knows what he should be doing, but we still have lots of minor issues like getting his head up, finding a good pace so I dont look like I am dragging him around the ring and trying to get him more animated for the judges...
I will be handling him myself and while I am doing it for fun, I dont want him to lose out because of my poor handling. This isn't a Big show, there will probably only be about 10 or so boxers ... I have been told by everyone including professional handlers that Jaeger is stunning and is going to pick up points..we are deemed competition
ANy tips on grooming pre show? other tricks of the trade? Also how long should a boxer show lead be? I always feel like I have too much lead to properly organize in my hand... and end up taking too long getting ready to do the triangle or down and back.
Thanks
