Osinn11 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 That is one great group of photos. Was this the event that took place on Saturday?? Are they ranked top to bottom or random? I am new to the world of showing so forgive my questions. What do all the I'm assuming abbreveations mean in the names? Again you'll have to forgive me for being uneducated on this.

Again you'll have to forgive me for being uneducated on this. This was a special event held on Wednesday night, these are the top 20 by points AKC Siberians in the nation. This is just Catalog Order, which means nothing at this stage, the judges (3) evaluated all dogs and there was a silent ballot for 'People's Choice' both announced at the Banquet Saturday night which I unfortunately was not able to attend.

Questions are good - how else will you learn??? All of the abbreviations are short for various titles - not all of which I know, any more! Ch = champion, GCh = Grand Champion (a new one since I've been out of showing!), CD = Companion Dog, CDX = Companion Dog Excellent, SD = Sled dog, NAJ = Novice Agility Jumpers... A lot of the agility titles I'm not terribly familiar with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osinn11 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks for the lesson. I had no idea how complex the showing world was. All very interesting. Is there an age requirement a dog must meet before it can become eligible to start competing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyMom09 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks for the lesson. I had no idea how complex the showing world was. All very interesting. Is there an age requirement a dog must meet before it can become eligible to start competing? Conformation starts as early as 6mos competitively, at 4 mos they can start doing puppy fun matches. Agility shouldn't start until they are at least a year because of all the jumping that can hurt their growth plates, and most Obedience Siberians are older more relaxed and listen well. Many of these excellent competitors are 4yrs + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osinn11 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Good to know! Glad to hear that most of the Obedience Huskies are over 4 years old...that means there is hope for us! Wheeew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear a dark suit when I show Denali too, since he's a gray light colors wash out his pretty coat color. Obviously I don't groom him in it which keeps me ring presentable too LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
