Buddy & I attended our first AKC Dog Show for four days in Stockton, CA. On the first day, Buddy was nervous & unfamiliar with the controlled chaos of the show. When the judge approached Buddy, he pulled away & promptly sat down. This was not what the judge wanted to see. Buddy finished second & received no points. Day two through Day four Buddy was more comfortable and did awesome. Buddy took Winners Dog/Best of Opposite & Best of Winners to get a point each day towards his AKC Championship. Buddy needs fifteen points for his CH. We learned a lot but are way more comfortable in the field hunting birds.
