 When we started to show our dogs, we have been totally lost. How? Where? When? What to do? Everything was total SF and it was really hard to understand the system and the rules.

We will try to explain how it works as simple as we can :) and we will write only some details which will make you understand better. Later with time and more showing experience, you will become an expert and you will know everything about when to enter the ring, what to win and achieve, where to go and collect titles and what to do :).
