World Dog Show 2011

[yukidomari]

Thank you R0d for the videos!

Because of this I was able to watch my first World Dog Show, although only virtually.

I must say this is completely new to me and I am surprised at the differences in World Dog Show and national dog shows here.

Here if a dog does not stack (stand) straight to have its teeth checked (in the AKC, the judge will open the dogs' mouth and check), then it is unlikely this dog will be given any placement. It may be disqualified even. Must be glad that Vlcak is not counted in the Guardian breeds, where judge can count individually each tooth!

It was interesting to see that judges in WDS doesn't care if the dog is cowering, crawling next to owner's legs, or sitting when touched from the rear.

To me, this type of dog I would not bring to a show..obviously this dog is not enjoying him or herself in this environment, even if the dog is beautiful, lovely, physically typical.

I will bring another dog which likes exhibition and spare the one who hates it. It's better to show a confident dog, especially on the international world stage for all to see nice happy confident Vlcak.

Of course, I am only a novice at shows.

But when I see this show then I see something like Westminster 2010:

to me I can only say: Make a better choice of which dogs to bring to international stage, and maybe take more handling practice or courses.. it was sad for me to see scared dogs which wouldn't even remain standing upright.
