I showed AKC Comformation for 17 + yrs. The best way to learn is to find shows go & watch & talk to the BREEDER HANDLERS.. Pro. Handlers probaly wont give you the time of day, Most dont have the time to give as some show as many as 15 dogs a day.. But if you wait untill the breed classes are over & find the Breeder Handlers hopefully their will be one you can talk to.. Or find someone who is Breeder Handler in your area & ask them to help you out or if theirs a Conformation Class around... A lot can depend on the dog.. Some dogs just LOVE to strut their stuff And almost show them selfs Others would just rather not & I've seen some do some Horribly Funny things in the ring when they didnt want to be their I like to "show train " all my puppies if their showable( purebred )or not ( hybrid ) It's nice to have them stackd for pics. & nice for letting others get a good hands on with them... Comformation is FUN but not as easy as it looks Cammie
