showing for young pups

[woodys mum 5]

Are more Lurcher shows introducing new classes for the under 6 month pups(obvioulsy with innocualtions etc),

I have seen a couple of shows do this and wondered if more show organisers were going to adopt this class.

I know this class would just be for fun and wouldnt be able to tell too much about the pub except general health, but it would get it socialised at quite a young age in regard to being handled and walked around on a lead.as an owner of a young pup who would it would usually not fit the usual 6 month and over until after the summers over, would be interested in knowing if these classes would be at most shows.

I've seen people showing 10/12 week old pups at shows and in my mind that's just wrong ! No one can tell what a pup of that age will turn out like, they haven't even got adult teeth yet ! By all means take a pup, when it's fully innoculated, to a show to socialise it, but keep it out of the ring until it's old enough to show a bit of movement and confirmation, etc,

 

Cheers.
