The Dog Show Show

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In previous episodes you may have heard us talk about things like "Breed Standards" and "Fit for purpose". Every dog has a standard they must meet to be considered a show dog and in this episode we look at what those standards are for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. We talk about size, colouring, temprament and of course, what fit for purpose actually is. I promise you that you will hear something you didn't know about this wonderful breed.

PS: Listen out for when I controversially question whether or not there is a 'gap' in the standards. It's a must listen.

In this episode we welcome back Kim to the Mic and we talk to her about what it takes to be a good dog handler. We look at what does a Dog Handler do? What are your tips for becoming a good Handler? Can Handlers show other people’s dogs, or do they have to handle their own dog? and some of the equipment you need to be a good handler.

In this episode we answer some of the most buring questions we get about how we should treat our Show Dogs, such as:

• Can I treat my Show Dog as a pet?
• Can a Pet Dog become a Show Dog?
• If we have an older dog, can we choose to show the dog later in their life, or do they need to be Show Dogs from puppies?
• If I have more than one dog at home, should I keep my Show Dog separate from my non-Show Dogs?
• Training Tips for Show Dogs?
• What happens to old Show Dogs?

In this episode of the podcast we talk about what the judges actually look for when we show a dog. This includes Dog Breed Standards and how the dog needs to be fit for purpose. We look at what fit for purpose means and the concept of best practice judging. 

We also look at what happens if a dog doesn't meet every criteria and how judges focus on the dog’s positives and on how many of the dogs attributes meet the standard.

Finally we discuss purebred dogs and how to know if your dog is purebred, why its so difficult to find a purebred dog today and how mixed breeds are becoming a part of the dog show world.

Proudly supported by The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Society of NSW.
