I am new to the dog show business.
I have a 7 month akita puppy, shet is a shelter rescue.
We are planning to get a second puppy from a breeder at the end of the year.
I am planning to go to the dog show to meet the breeder and see her dogs in the show ring.
I want to take my puppy with me, she travels a lot with us and I want her to get used to the busy noisy environment. She is very well socialized.
I am not planning to show her, since she is a rescue and not registered.
Can I still take her to the dog show?
How much does it cost? What do I need to bring with me?

No, you can't take her. Dogs not enetered in the show are not allowed in the building.

Any dog at the show that has not been signed up for the show is not allowed in the building/place.I have been showing Saint Bernard's for 7 years so I know all of the rules. When you get the show puppy make sure you look for faults (bad things they are not suppose to have) or any thing that looks not normal. You need to check it's bite and the whole course.Start by doing a practice show to learn how to show better and watch out for POLITICS!

I'm sorry but outside dogs are not allowed into the show area.
Please do go and learn all your can and get some really good advice from the breeder and the handlers you meet. They can be some of the best people to give you pointers and stear you in the right direction for showing your dogs.

Most dog shows do not allow dogs/puppies that aren't entered in the show on the grounds. You need to check with the club hosting the show to see if they have that requirement.
If it is an indoor show you likely will be charged an admission fee which is usually around $ 5 but again depends on the show and the host club.
If it is outdoor there likely won't be an admission fee (although occassionally some shows do charge one)
Unentered dogs/puppies sometimes can attend outdoor shows, but again you need to check with the hosting club.
One outdoor AKC show that I have attended now for the past 12 years does allow unentered dogs/puppies, but they must adher to AKC rules as far as collars are conerned...no harnesses, no prongs, no halti/gentle leaders (unless of course they are service/seeing eye dogs).....in otherwords on collars that are allowed in the show rings. Also the dogs must be well behaved and in control. owners also must keep their dogs away from the enterances to the rings and show proof of vaccinations.
None of the indoor shows I attend allow unentered dogs in the building (except service dogs).

Generally dogs that aren't in the show aren't supposed to go but I've seen it done. You could probably slip under the radar pretty easily but if someone notices they may ask you to take the dog home and put you in a problem. Its really your call. Good luck and congrats on the new pup!

It's free to go to a dog show. You are not supposed to take dogs that are not entered but likely no one would say anything and no one will ask either. I take Dane pups to shows all the time before they reach showing age to socialize. Just use common sense and be courteous. Do not allow your dog to shove his nose in other dogs behinds and keep him under control on a short leash at all times and enjoy the show.
Edited to add... You might want to leave him at home this time so that you can concentrate on what is going on and talk with your breeder with out the distraction of your pet.
I have never heard of a fee to get in a dog show and have been to many. There is always usually a parking fee though.

It relies upon. All canines that are going to be bred would desire to undergo genetic sorting out. genuinely and positively. era. and could a minimum of attempt the two conformation or field trials. Our male hates the practice ring- he hates it. He spends the full weekend no longer ingesting, appearing goofy, and that's plenty to annoying to coach him. although, we've taken him to Canada and won adequate effective written evaluations that we experience that he's conformationally very stable. the full component to breeding a canines is to greater valuable the breed. in case you're actually not showing or competing against different canines in teh comparable breed, you haven't any longer any thought how your canines compares to others. there is not any such element as a appropriate canines. they do no longer exist, so the breed time-honored isn't a element to emulate, yet to attempt for. because of the fact shelters are finished and appropriate specimens of any breed are uncommon, basically the appropriate canines would desire to be bred. The term "appropriate" propose assessment with different canines.

If you are taking your puppy to a show, but not showing, I'm not sure that there will be a place you will be able to set up at. Ask your breeder. If you do/can take her, most shows require a wire crate for all dogs.

you can take her to the dog show. Its not against the law. Your dog has to be on a leash though. Every dog show costs a different amount. it could be 20 dollars to 200 dollars. And bring dog toys, a leash, blankets, brush, shampoo. Or if you dont want to bring all that than groom your pup at home. Good luck and I hope your puppy does well
