You can't show them in the AKC but in the UKC which we've been doing almost exclusively now they have a separate show for 'altered' dogs. As I said above, this way Beau can show in the regular conformation show and Cole can show in the altered conformation show.
Cole, while very nice, although a bit of a kangaroo in the show ring, just wasn't as much fun to show as his Dad in the AKC, which is why I started showing in the first place. I want to have fun showing my dogs. In the UKC there are no politics, everyone is more laid back and into having fun, making friends and the judges are also more laid back, helpful, friendlier and they actually get to judge dogs!! A novel concept I know but one I highly endorse. I'd like to get at least one of my grandkids interested in showing, and I without a doubt would start them in the UKC where the judges actually take the time to teach and train the juniors and everyone there comes up to root for them.

So, gather not going to show AKC with Cole?

I did some, and when he wasn't jumping around the ring like a kangaroo, we would do pretty well, including taking RWD to a major but even then he just doesn't have the charisma that his Dad has so he isn't nearly as much fun to show.
