Help on how to show at the German seigershow - Page 1

Hi Guy's I would like to know how to go about showing at the German siegershow, what shows do i need to attend prior to the sieger, if any. And how do i go about entering my dog, and collecting his number for the show etc' your help would be great i'm new to all this. Thanks Milly.

Canine Training Systems have some great videos on German show handling and preparation. It goes through all that takes place at a show and all you are expected to do to present your dog to the judge properly. It is a very good investment!

Milly, Showing your dog for the first time at the German Sieger show can be a great adventure. Some are successful, some are not. Plan on sending your dog to Germany to compete prior to the sieger show in local(OG) and Regional(LG) shows. I send mine before the summer weather sets in and their coats disappear. This is before the end of June for my part of the country. You will need to find someone to campaign your dog in Germany. The dog will need to be shipped with it's papers, scorebook, and health records. Hopefully your breeder or one of their associates will be able to find someone to campaign your dog. The costs depends on how good your dog is and how well it's trained and who's campaigning it. I have had a dog campaigned and shown by a lesser known person for as much as 4500.00 (and the dog never made it to the show) and an extremely successful person for as little as 300.00 (dog went first ring). The better the dog, the lesser the cost and the more people want to be involved with it.

Hi, Thamks for you help Dog1, that was more or less the information i was looking for, does anyone know who may want to take a dog on, of cause i know they will want to see photo's etc' first. Milly

Hi Milly, 1) You need to be a member of the SV 2) Your dog needs to be registered with the SV 3) Hips/Elbows/DNA (Kkl. if old enough) should be registered with the SV 4) You need to register your dog by the cut-off date. Campaigning a dog is recommended. Nothing to stop you though from packing your dog up and showing him/her and going like a wild card. In the past 4 years my dogs have brought me to the Siegershow and I had a great time too. There is a central station at the show where the numbers are picked up. Lots of Americans around and English speaking Germans. Good luck!!!

Thanks Sunshine, Thats great information too i'm learning bits all the time and feel more relaxed about it all now,
