101 Swift Dogs
"The
show dog ring calls in…” Exactly these are the words that announce the start of
the show dogs competing ultimately hoping to win the cherished CAC or CACIB medal and the title 'Best in Show'. A
dog and his handler spend only a few minutes in the ring but what a long way of
painstaking preparatory work precedes that. Before being brought
before the stern eyes of the judges, the dog should be trained to show his
teeth, be tolerant to the manual inspection, to stand correctly (exhibition
stand), and, of course, to move gracefully. In addition to that, the dog should be tolerant to their
akin, do not be driven into despair and be horrified by the music roaring
almost at all dog shows, do not react to the sounds of bursting air balloons
and respond to other dogs barking. The show dogs should always be restrained
from nonstop yelping. But even a well
trained show dog will get the ring feeling and will start to get excited in
competing only after having experience in a number of venues. And only after
mastering all the show wisdom the dog will become a real ring fighter.
