"Show Quality" Showing Your Dog
Hello, I am interested in getting into showing dachshunds. I am having
a hard time finding a "Show Quality" Puppy. I also heard that Legit Show breeders usually do not give you a good quality dog if you are a beginner. Where is a good place to search for "Show Quality" puppies? How much money is usually invested in showing a dog. Any other information would be great. Its also very hard to find out if a breeder is legit, because anyone would say there puppy is "Show Quality" When yet they arent, they just want to make a few bucks. Thank you |

Thank you I think your easist path will be to go to some dog shows where Dachshunds will be represented. That way you will get to meet some show people who are likely breeders as well. By introducing yourself, you get your foot in the door. By seeing them there, you know that they're out there doing it so their "show quality" puppies are likely the real deal. -- Tara |

How much money is usually invested in showing a dog. Any other information would be great. If there is a local dachsund club, you need to join. If not go to a dog show and chat up the dachsund breeders there. If you are really willing to learn to show and are going to be a good home for the dachsund, breeders will be happy to give you an excellent quality dog. Its also very hard to find out if a breeder is legit, because anyone would say there puppy is "Show Quality" When yet they arent, they just want to make a few bucks. The way to find out is to find out who is going to shows, who is winning, and why. Learn about the breed. Join the club. Go to shows. Learn learn learn. |

I would start by going to the national specialty. TONS of show-quality
Doxies. Sit at ringside each day with a catalog, and mark the dogs that you like and the dogs that you don't. Then write the owners (the addresses are in the catalog) of the dogs you like, or do a search on google for the kennel name. Usually if you are looking to get into showing, you won't find a show-quality dog unless you already know who to talk to and where to look. -- Emily Carroll Dealing 80s Toys - Rainbow Brite - My Little Pony - More Website: www.geocities.com/diamonds_in_her_eyes CPG: www.geocities.com/cyberpetgame wrote in message om...
