Title: Dress Code???
Post by: cbabe on July 09, 2003, 01:07:22 PM

I'm getting a bit confused with my choice of wardrobe for the show.

I have seen some handlers suited up and some in jeans! Is there a dress code or does any thing go :-. Don't worry my bikini is staying firmly in the drawer!  :o  oo  ;)

Anything goes Clare. My advice - be smart but comfortable. Treat the judge with some respect - which shows in your dress, and that way you'll start to earn respect too. I can't believe how some people go into the ring. It is the dog that's on show but if you feel good, that will encourage your dog to feel good too. ;D

Watch your colours though and don't wear anything to flappy - ie very long full skirt or lightweight baggy trousers - they can put the judge off by pulling their eye away from the dog. If you're showing a black dog, don't wear black. Wear a colour that contrasts that way the outline of the dog can be better observed.
