My boy will be there, He is 8mos old a Trig/BO pup. I think his littermates will be there also. My husband will be up there also. I cant make it unfortunately. It will be exciting to hear all the news from my husband.

And from what I have seen from other pictures, this is one AWESOME litter! Your boy should be a GREAT contender! Good luck!

Thanks Sharon, Boo is gorgeous also. We will have to talk sometime.

I'm not a dog show person. So it would be really great to meet people who are going. My husband will be by himself up there with no support. I'm not sure if he'll get to see the dog. I dont really know how this works anyhow. If anyone has any thoughts or advice on how this all works from previous experience that would be great. I dont know enough to know whether he is contender material or not. He's my big teddy bear and my daughter wakes up every morning and lays in the spot she used to lay with him when she woke up. It's very cute and sad.

you have a handler or is he showing him?
of course he can watch! and walk around and see obedience,conformation,agility, ect! and shop at vendors.
tell him to look for me. in the catalog, look up any dog that starts with targon's on it...i am in veteran's bitch, bred by dog, pre novice obed one day, rally one day(if not in heat) and agility wednesday and thursday.i'll be more than happy to explain what's around for him.

My dog is going with the handler. My husband in a ring. ROFL!!!! I've heard of your kennel and maybe some dogs of yours but again, not versed on dog show world. I sure will tell him to keep an eye out. If he can even figure out when his own dog is showing. Thanks, maybe we'll meet at a dog show along the way. My dog is on his way to Louisville today. First show, he may flop, if the handler ever calls me, I'll tell you how it goes.

[targonrotts]

about a week before the show, he should get a schedule in the mail with ring number and times. i know it's indoors for conformation. what class is he entered in? males are first. the tentative schedule is up on the website, but no exact times or numbers yet.
tell him to get a catalog, that will help him too.
good luck in KY. i am not going, but our handler and co-owner is going up there to show danes and boxers.
i mostly show in florida...and usually in agility or flyball.
good luck!

Is KY this week or next I'm confused!!!! If my handler would return my calls I'd actually know where my dog is and going. Heck, I dont even know what shows he is entered in. I guess this is status quo for most dog show people and I should not worry. I know he is entered in 9-12 pup sweeps and 9-12 regular. I did that entry so I know that for sure. My husband is going with his friends. I am so jealous. Will definately tell him to get a catalog. Thanks again.

kentucky starts next week...mid week.

Tell the old man to MARK the catalog for you as well (absentees, placements, etc...). It's good to keep these catalogs on file, so you know what judges liked which dogs, etc... I also write down little notes on what strengths/weaknesses I see with dogs that are showing.

p.s. your handler should be returning your calls.

She's horrible at calling and telling what happened at the shows !! For TWO years she had Taylor, and I could usually get the information from the internet the following week faster than getting a phone call from her.

I love her to pieces, and just figured the care she gave Taylor was more important than a phone call.

Hang in there Sebastian. Just know that your dog is in good hands.

Oh, and btw...............I'm going to Nationals. Taylor and I.
