Regional and regional exhibitions are generally shows with smaller participation, where you will not meet many representatives of your breed, but they are great to start with for initial training and looking around in a show environment.

You will definitely meet most dogs of your breed at exhibitions club ones , whose organizer is, as the name already suggests, the club covering the dog breed in question. National and international exhibitions are shows with a high participation of dogs of all breeds, whether from the Czech Republic or from abroad, and the judges are very often also foreign.

WHAT YOUR DOG SHOULD DEFINITELY DO AT THE EXHIBITION

At the dog show, it is desirable that your dog performs as well as possible. It is important to learn position (the dog should be able to stand still), for small and medium breeds both on the ground and on the table. Large breeds only stand on the ground.

Furthermore, he must be able to show teeth and in males, the testicles are also checked, which the dog must touch.

In the end, it is important movement , namely a trot on the exhibitor's left leg.

WHAT YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT AT THE EXHIBITION

Don't forget to take the exhibition with you entry sheet (confirmation of registration for the given exhibition), which will be sent to you by e-mail a few days before the exhibition, further Pass of Origin and Certificate of Vaccination with valid vaccinations.

Don't forget to take your dog with you exhibition guide , water bowl , motivational treats and if he is used to it, so too a travel crate/handle where he can rest. After all, such an exhibition is a matter of several hours.

Above all, don't forget to thoroughly enjoy the exhibition! You will see many other beautiful dogs here, not only of the same breed, and you will certainly meet many other nice owners.
