Showing your
Scottie
If you intend
to show your Scottish Terrier all you
have to do firstly is contact the Royal
New South Wales Canine Council on (02)
9834-3022 and ask for membership details
to be sent to you.
After joining the
RNSWCC you will need to purchase a show
entry form book. A request for this
book may be done when sending in your
completed membership form.
Now that your
membership is completed you will receive
a publication called The Canine Journal
published by the RNSWCC each month.
This journal contains general show news
around the dog circuit, results of
previous dog shows, etc., and details of
upcoming specialty and all breeds dog
shows. The details of the shows
appear in a special section of the
journal called The Canine Gazette
stating:
*Dog club
holding the show
*Where the show
is to be held
*Date and
commencement time of the show
*Judges of each
particular group
*List of prizes
*Entry fee
amount
*Who to send the
completed entry form to
*Name of Club
for remittance to be made out to.

Normally
on the top right hand corner of the
show advertisement is where you will
find the closing date for entries to
be received by the club hold the
show.
Other information
which may help you is also contained in
the advertisement.
Members of The
Scottish Terrier Club Inc. will help any
new member to the club fill out show
entry forms.
The Scottish Terrier
Club Inc. holds three specialty breed
shows each year, championship show in
April and October and an open show in
August.
The normal procedure
for entering a show is selecting the show
you want to enter, fill in the entry
form, and post it in time so it reaches
its destination before the closing date.
When sending
>entries always include a stamped,
self-addressed envelope (for return of
your number) the completed entry form (s)
and a remittance cheque to cover entry
fee and show catalogue. It is
advisable that new exhibitors purchase a
show catalogue.
Try to arrive at the
show ring for the commencement of the
show. There is always someone there
to direct you to the Terrier ring when
you first start showing. Read your
catalogue after you pick it up from the
secretary’s office it will indicate
the order of judging and help you have
your puppy ready when the Scotties are
called.
It is a good idea to
go to the assembly area nearing the
completion of the breed before of the
Scottish Terriers, this way you will not
miss the call for your puppy. Have
your show number clearly displayed and
listen for the steward to call you to the
ring entrance.

Show training
for your Puppy
There are a number
of organisations in Sydney and also in
country areas that hold show training
classes to help you introduce your new
puppy into the show ring and also help
older dogs that may have other particular
problems showing.
The training not
only gets the puppy used to being in and
around the show ring and handled by
different instructor, it is also designed
to educate the dog handler on what to do
and handle him/herself in the ring.
These classes are a
valuable asset to you and your puppy if
you intend to show regularly and want to
get the very best out of it.
For
information regarding these show training
classes contact your local all breeds
club or the Scottish Terrier Club Inc.
The Scottish Terrier
Club Inc. also holds special show
training and grooming days for members
when necessary. Details of when and
where these activities are held appear in
the Scottish Terrier newsletter, which is
published every two months.
