Dog Showing 101
New to dog shows? I know it can be confusing. Below is some information on dog shows to help make your experience a little smoother. Let me know if you have any questions and I will expand the blog post.
Where can I find a beginner’s guide to dog shows?
The AKC has a good explanation of dog shows on their website: http://classic.akc.org/events/conformation/beginners.cfm
I really like the book Show Me! A Dog Showing Primer by D. Caroline Coile Ph.D.
Where do I find a calendar of all the dog shows?
Visit http://www.infodog.com/ or http://www.onofrio.com/.
If you go to InfoDog, click on ‘Show Information’ and then ‘Search by State’. Select your state and look for the ‘AB’ (All Breed) show type. This is the website that you will use to access the premium list, the judging program and enter your dog for the show. The shows close for entries about 2 1/2 weeks before the show date.
How do I teach my dog to stack?
We make stacking boxes like one below to teach our dogs to stand correctly for dog shows, or you can purchase them from places likes www.dogshowequipment.com.
You can also use a cinder block and ask you dog to stand on it with its front feet as shown below.
How do I figure out the titles in a dog’s name?
The website below lists the titles you can find at the beginning of the dog’s name:
http://www.akc.org/events/titles.cfm?v_page_titles=1
The website below lists the titles you can find at the end of the dog’s name:
http://www.akc.org/events/titles.cfm?v_page_titles=2
This website also has some good abbreviations if you scroll all the way to the bottom:

How does the AKC points system work?
The webpage below provides an explanation of the points:
http://classic.akc.org/events/conformation/counting_points.cfm
The webpage below lists the number of dogs you have to beat to get 1, 2, 3, etc. points.
