Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was wondering if theres anyone who shows or enjoys the dog show world. I plan to get an Aussie (yes this is my final decision) to either show or compete in agility, disc dog, and rally. My dad is planing to get into breeding and showing boxers. He also wants to compete in schtzhund and I would compete in agility with the dogs and do the training. Well its going to be a while before the decision is made since we have a lot of research ahead of us. The dogs would be titled of course before they are bred. Anyways I'm getting ahead of my self.

OK so I was just wondering there was anyone who competed in conformation. Well I'm practicing stacking Bo and practicing on Abby. Well Bo may compete in the future but as of right now his future holds agility and schtzhund. So I enjoy watching dogs shows and stuff but yea. Do u prefer the working GSD's or the Show GSD's? I prefer the working.

Now for pics of Bo's first stack
Keep in mind this is the first time I ever tried stacking him. At first he was like what the heck and gnawed on my hand. I know there not great but hey this was the first time trying and its hard working a camera by yourself in a leg brace.

Amazing stack right


First attempet ever

(What the heck do u think your doing) he was trying to eat the treats from my hand

Good luck with your showing plans, unfortunately, I have no experience with dog showing cry . I have heard that how happy you are with it depends on your goals. It can be a bit cliqueish, I have heard. Like you have to know the right people and judges, etc. if you really want to get ahead.

I have only heard good things about agility showing though.
