To get our puppies ready for the show ring, we started both their training and my training pretty early. At just a few months of age, they learned to walk on a leash, stack, and have their teeth and bodies examined. I had to learn to handle a show lead properly and to gait the dog properly, stack the dog correctly, and all of the details of entering dog shows. Puppies don’t have a long attention span, so you have to train in very short sessions. Stacking was hard for my Dalmatians, because they didn’t like to stand still for long as puppies. Attached is a picture of Vegas winning her first major. We were thrilled for her.
