I just returned from Adam's first show. Actually there were 2 shows in 2 days. Adam won the puppy class each day, but I guess that was really nothing to get excited about because he was the only one in his class. But I was told the judge does not have to award the blue ribbon if the dog does not meet the breed standard.
I got to meet several new newfie friends as well as catch up with old friends I have not seen in awhile. There were some newf people there that were judges. They all loved Adam. They said he had a good front end, good angle, nice bone and beautiful face. OH if I only knew what all that meant. SCNC is hold a conformation seminar in 2 weeks, I cannot wait so I can learn learn learn.
All in all we had a wonderful time. Annie thanks for coming by!! Darlene and Kira (Yelda) went with me. Kira was a perfect lady the whole weekend. She is such a wonderful girl!!
Question: Some people said to show Adam quite a bit while he is young to show him a lot to get him use to showing. Then lay off awhile--until he matures then start back again. Others said to show him only a little, then start showing more as he matures. What does everyone on this board think of that?
So one more show I have entered in. Next weekend in Lebanon IN. Susan (Newfvo) are you going to be there???
