Well done Alfie :D We've shown several "and whites" so I can sympathise on the nightmare of keeping them clean on a show day :005: Like Michelle says, you have to be ultra careful where you take them for a wee at a show - no going through long grass or jumping in puddles :lol2: We don't use whitening sprays at a show (not really allowed by our KC) but might sprinkle some talc onto any grubby areas (making sure it's all brushed out before the dog goes in the ring). On really wet show days, those all-in-one trouser suits really come into their own so might be worth investing in one for Alfie ;)

- I was thinking of the ears - Dax gets his everywhere no matter how careful I am  :005: 

Snoods on show day for walking  ;)


We don't use whitening sprays at a show (not really allowed by our KC)

They aren't whitening sprays so much as waterless shampoo and some have a bit of bluing (like laundry bluing  :005:) to help restore the white. Doesn't really alter the coat colour as just help the white get whiter. Don't know if you can use it or not though  :embarassed:

We're not really meant to use anything for show preparation except water according to KC rules. Of course, that's not to say everyone follows the rules to the letter as you do frequently see cans of this and that being liberally sprayed around at shows ph34r :005:

Thankyou for your comments, I take it you are going to a local ring craft, which one, as I am always on the look out for more classes, the limit show you were at does a monthly meeting at Crossens, 2nd wednesday of the month, which includes a match night, we are hoping to take Rosie's pup, Taya to the next meeting, would be lovely to see you there. ;)

We go to a ringcraft in Skemersdale, not local to me atall really, but it was recommended and we really enjoy it there. Alfie has progressed so much since going there, but we decided to go back to the old local ringcraft this week were they have matches , just to keep me on my toes.  :005: TBH it was Richard with the curly coated retrievers (do you know him, I am sure he takes a ringcraft class in Southport?) who we met up with in Skem, and he pushed me into entering Alf at the limited show, the push I needed but hey he is totally responsible for my near nervous breakdown that night.  :lol2: Seriously though he gave me some confidence really, hopefully we will bump into him again to thank him. He did tell us about the classes in Southport, I may try them at some point, but Alfies calender is very full at the moment  :005: we are trying to get to one in St Helens to meet up with Anne  (Ludo) and Dax  :luv: Next time we are at the same venue hopefully we can get to chat, I am sure Alfie would like to say hello to Rosie.  :luv:
If you want any details of the class let me know.  ;)
