Exhibitor's Standards
CHARACTERISTICS
A pleasant intelligent person, helpful, considerate, attentive
and
of a sporting demeanour. Always willing to give advice and
assistance
to newcomers, or to others needing it. Attentive to the needs of
the
dogs being handled, and present each dog to its best advantage.
GENERAL APPEARANCE
A neat, smart, fit looking individual, well-groomed, well shod
and
well-equipped, who moves freely both in and out of the ring.
TEMPERAMENT
Calm, confident, unhurried and friendly.
HEAD
Neither big nor pin headed. Skull broad to allow for plenty of
brain power. Expression pleasant and smiling, regardless of
judges'
decisions, other exhibitors actions and the dog's behaviour. Nose
small so as to not be stuck into where it is not wanted.
EYES
Sharp and bright Observant of other exhibitors location, judges
hand signals and the movement and position of all dogs in the ring.
MOUTH
Usually best kept closed except to briefly answer judges
questions
or to congratulate successful exhibitors. Teeth clean, white and
presented in a smiling fashion at all times.
NECK
Long enough to hold the head up proudly and flexible enough to
turn
the head as to observe everything that is happening in the ring.
Should never be stuck out.
FOREQUARTERS
Shoulders broad and able to shrug off unsporting comments from
other exhibitors. Arms of sufficient length and strength to extend
a
handshake to the winners, keep a firm hold on the dog, collect any
prize cards, and give a friendly pat to the dog all at the same
time.
BODY
Sufficiently slim as to not impede other exhibitors leaving the
ring and to not completely block the judges view of all the dogs
behind.
HINDQUARTERS
Well developed and strong so as to be able to move the dog in
the
ring at its optimum speed.
FEET
Firmly on the ground as this is only a sport after all. To be
kept
out of the mouth at all times.
GAIT
Free moving and graceful, moving in harmony with the dogs speed.
COAT
Dress should be neat, clean and tidy, neither flamboyant nor
immodest, but designed to allow free movement without distraction
to
any dog in the ring. Feet should be well shod in practical shoes
to
allow for easy movement.
COLOUR
Should be chosen to complement the colour of the dog, or if
several
different coloured dogs are being handled, to at least not
completely
hide the outline of any dog, e.g. wearing a long black skirt when
showing a black dog.
SIZE
Exhibitors may come in all sizes and shapes, the only limitation
being ability to do justice to the dog when in the ring.
MAJOR FAULTS
Dirty or scruffy appearance, grumpy, vicious or flustered
temperament; swollen head; loud mouth, especially when used for
insulting comments or bad language; unsporting behaviour; unkempt
dress.
NOTE:
The usual Kennel Club requirement that all males have two
apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum has
been
dispensed with, in the interests of decorum and to avoid any
sudden
inspections with attendant violent reactions, while male
exhibitors
are attending dog shows.
