Hello
I went to my first show this weekend. It was SO fun.
Rudy and I are starting one of two different handling courses this week.
I noticed when I watched the dobes being showed, that some people used thin chain collars and some used a material type collar and some used a thin leather collar. Any advice on ....what kind to buy. What size I should buy....seeing that Rudy is 14 weeks today. So can I get one that I can still use for him when he is full grown? Or should I buy a puppy ish size, then buy another when he's older?
What length of lead? Do most buy a lead the same colour as the dog? Or can you choose any colour you like?
Any great online places to order from? Rudy is a red dobe. So I'm going to try and get a brown set. Though, at the show, there was a vendor there with beautiful leather collar and leads....one set in a peacock blue. Do people ever use colours that don't 'blend' in with their dogs?
We'll be able to start some sanction matches soon too!!! I'm excited!
Here are a few updated Pic of Rudy from a few days ago.
He's doing so well, loving his agility classes. He zooms through the tunnels over and over. He loves them.
Thanks in advance!
