I messed up my registration and I couldn't show my dog so I offered to show this one to help out. I lost but I thought I did a good enough job, so did the dog's owners.

I'm sorry to hear your boy didn't get to show. He'd have kicked butt! Practice is good anyway, right? I think you looked great out there.

Great vids. I especially like that my favorite cartoon character is singing on the first one. :D "Salty Balls" is one of my all time favorite tunes!

Thanks for sharing these clips. It's very interesting to me...i've never been to an actual live event or a dog show before. The bulldog you showed was very handsome. Looking forward to seeing Biggie next time!

Thanks guys! I actually was looking for a show prospect when I bought Biggie. As soon as he turned 6 months old I took him to his first show. We did an awful performance so we went to dog handling classes to improve. We've been to every show within a 3 hour drive radius after that. I actually do have some videos of Biggie in show.

Check it out;

@ biggiesmalls If you don't mind me asking a couple more questions..Bubba has papers but never registered him..do they need papers to show? How did you find out how to show a bulldog? positioning, what's expected, what's looked down upon, etc. It would be fun to try it, if I could get Bubba in the action! Looks like he needs some training though to stand, etc. Your boy is gorgeous, btw!

Thank you! yes your dog has to be registered. As far as do's and don'ts Id say contact ur local bulldog breeder about some handling classes. There are many different views on the subject and I wouldnt be of much help. Competing is a lotta fun tho, i strongly suggest you follow through with it.
