Western Dog Shows

By Wendy Pan

The calendar of Western dog shows for 2009 is already on line and contains a full programe of events to keep you busy for the whole of the year. Beginning with the Ladies Kennel Club BC the calendar has 31 events of such variety to whet the appetite of even the fussiest of pooches and their owners. Western dog shows have a very well maintained and updated website that will give you all the information you need to be part of British Colombia's dog showing scene and dates listed are approved by the Canadian Kennel Club. On the home page is a helpful update of the next show to be held and a reminder of the closing date for entries. There is also a links section for other sites the dog owner may be interested in and a list of the current panel of judges. The site has a venue list for the event and a key which will explain which of the five types of dog show it is. For example S for Specialty Show, O, Obedience Trial etc. You can use the on line form for entries and the site gives you contact details for Western dog shows Ltd. Including a phone number for personal contact.

There is something in the Western Dog show calendar to interest every dog show owner breeder and enthusiast. If your new to showing the site links section will direct you to many places which will give you information and interesting articles about showing and about individual dog breeds to whet your appetite and answer some of those questions you will have about showing your dog. Then why not go along to one of the many events and enjoy the day nothing like experiencing the atmosphere and the excitement of a real event. Maybe talking to some owners and seeing how your personal champion compares to others of the breed. So perhaps your love is for dynamic Dobermans those tall haughty creatures carrying the proud Aryan history of their breed with heads held high.

Or for the gentle Golden Retriever with its glowing coat and soft eyes, one of natures most quiet and trusty companions. Maybe you favor the smaller breeds, the cute Cavalier King Charles for example with its sad eyes and long silky coat. You may think you are the owner but where this lovely creature is concerned you are definitely the one who is owned as the minute you look into those soft brown eyes you belong to them for life. Does your enthusiasm lead you to the proud pedigree Pug, this punctilious little creature such a character and full of life will have you enjoying your show ring experience as much as he does. So if you have a native Newfoundland who is keen to show of his local pedigree or a sensational Samoyed whose origins lie on the other side of the globe the Western Dog shows site is the place for you.
