Agador is a very handsome dog..but not overly large. He's more than likely sitting on a podium getting his win pictures taken when that photo was shot.Lexus said:What a nice head! Boy that handler must be small, Dabney's Phenomenon looks big! Very handsomeI must say as Lexy swoons!
Another interesting point I noticed they mentioned is that that it is one of only 6 remaining "benched" shows in the country, where dogs must be on display when they aren't competing so people can talk to their owners and learn about the different breeds.

He is a nice looking boy - he shows in my area for the most part. I personally like his father better, and very often if the two of them are showing against each other, the father wins. Agador (Ch. Dabney's Phenomenon) is owned and bred by Linda Krukar - she is also a Doberman judge herself. I don't know her peronally - I've just seen her at the shows. He is not oversized at all, just a pretty nice standard guy!crxman321 said:I thought everyone should see this Great looking Dobe

Yeah, there aren't that many benched shows yet. I believe there's only one benched show left here on the west coast, in San Francisco. It usually pulls a very small doberman entry.
Some people enjoy benched shows..I just wouldn't be willing to put myself through that. I'm all for public education-but not for 8 solid hours at a crack!

Okay..now I know who Blackdog is, LOL! It never connected with me before.Blackdog said:Like Cheryl said, Agador's not a big dog. I was suprised, too. He and Cyrus were in the ring together at the Cleveland shows, and Cyrus is actually a tad bit bigger --- and Cyrus isn't a big dog. Agador is Cy's nephew - he and Monty are half-brothers.
We went to the show at Cobo when Cyrus was a puppy - parking is a nightmare!
The only benched show I have shown at is the Philadelphia Kennel Club show in November - it is a 2 day benched show. You have to be in the building by a certain time... I think 10 am on Saturday and 11 am on Sunday. On Saturday you cannot leave till 5pm and 3 pm on Sunday. The show is still going on at that point - some groups and Best In Show. They have actual raised benches where you put your crate(s) and they keep the breeds together in long aisles marked with the breeds so that the public can find the breeds they are interested in. You are assigned a spot. All-breed handlers are in a different area and do keep all of their dogs together. I bring a chair, a cooler, and a book, but spend most of my time talking to people: the public and other Dobe people. Many exhibitors do not like talking to the public (some of them are pretty exhausting), but I'm still new enough to enjoy it. The dogs spend most of the time in their crates. I bring a blanket to cover their crate with so that they can snooze. Usually someone would have a Doberman out for people to see. Louise has not been yet, but Velma is so good with people that she does spend a bit of time out for meeting and greeting the public once she is done showing for the day. The shopping is also pretty good!Lexus said:Ahh, I see.
That is a long time to stay on display, more or less. I used to show horses and I can't imagine basically staying suited up long after my class was over. Makes for an exhausting day I'm sure.

HI MICKEY!Blackdog said:Hi Cheryl:emo5:
I knew who it was just like I know who Murreydobe is.... I've just never met either of you! Maybe at Fitchburg in 2007 - I know I won't make it to Colorado... Fitchburg looks like it will be my first National. I hope!!Murreydobe said:HI MICKEY!
I don't know why it took me so long to figure out that was you..guess I'm just slow sometimes..
Yes, I'm in southern CA, about halfway between LA and Palm Springs.velmadobe said:IBut Cheryl (sp?) - are you in California?
