Taking part in dog showing is also a great way to assess your dogs temperament as well as how your dog stands up to the breed standard.
Contact your breed club to find out more about showing your breed of dog and if your dog is to standard.
Showing is a fun and challenging experience and most dogs enjoy it although some may not be cut out for the ring.
Hope these links prove helpful.
