A Show Outline


Basic Information About Dog�Shows

Sweepstakes

When reading the show schedule please make note of the start time of the show.

If you have entered the sweepstakes these are normally held at the start of the show so you will need to arrive at the show approximately 1/2 to 1 hr before the starting time listed so that you are ready to enter the ring when the show commences.

Breed group judging starts immediately at the conclusion of the sweepstakes.

The Order Of Judging Of Groups

On the front page of your catalogue (and in the Show Schedule) will be a list of Judges, with the order that they will be judging the groups.

Each Judge will commence judging immediately after Sweepstakes have finished unless stated otherwise.

The Judge will go through what is listed after their name in the order that it appears.

The 7 Groups That Breeds Are Divided Into:

All of the different breeds of dogs are divided into 7 groups.

The 7 Groups are as follows

  • Group 1. Toys

  • Group 2. Terriers

  • Group 3. Gundogs

  • Group 4. Hounds

  • Group 5. Working Dogs

  • Group 6. Utility

  • Group 7. Non Sporting

    Not all breeds may be present.

    At smaller shows the same judge may have to judge several groups, so read the schedule carefully as your group may be judged after another group has finished.

    At larger shows, your group may be split between more than one judge. ie. Gundogs A to E.

    Always check through your catalogue if you are unsure as to which Judge will be judging your dog.
