Hiya, This is probably a daft question, but ive seen on here about the shows and that and people take there terriers etc, what do they do at the shows? sorry ive never been to one, :icon_redface:

First the judge will call out the breed etc, when you take ur dog in they normally call you out to check the dog over and ask a few questions they then ask u to walk a short distance then walk back into the line up and when he/she have fininshed checking all the dogs they pick 3 dogs out for 1st etc.
And if you have a 1st you then go into the lineup for supreme champion against all the other winners.

unlike a kennel club show people mix and chat and have a good friendly time they go to socialise more than show

if it's a game fair then the site will have game stalls ie fishing shooting hunting stuff and main ring displays like flyfishing, stalking, ferreting, gundog and hawking displays then there will be a lurcher terrier and family dog show, the terriers will be judged in classes alike so puppies, russell type and smooth or rough coat, patterdale/fell type lakeland type border type etc and 'other' sometimes xbreed too (yey!) under 13.5", best entered - this is not best dog entered in the show it's dog that has entered a fox or rabbit hole or 'gone to ground' sometimes best working dog too, the dog ideally should be spannable -the chest should be small enough to go down a hole, you enter as you go into the ring usually £1 class championship free, docking laws sometimes apply

if your russell in your sig is fairly quick you can test it in the terrier racing or if you go to a show that kev and debs (nighthunter on here)are doing the activities then you get a go at coursing, hurdles and long jump -the record cleared so far is 10'

find a show near you and go have a look see
