Those words may sound simple, but within the dog fancy they carry a weight many of us understand all too well.
The show ring is a fashion runway today: women in their trusty two-piece skirt suits, men in suits or sharp blazers, and many women wearing flat (!) shoes. Yet beyond personal style, the fundamental challenge is assembling a wardrobe that meets both the functional demands and modern trends of the dog show environment–the operative word being “functional.” Tracking down that magical, pocket-equipped outfit that nails every dog show style requirement is a true quest. Flipping through magazines, scrolling endlessly online, or treasure-hunting in thrift shops, and on consignment apps are also favorite ways to score hidden gems– sites such as ThredUp, Poshmark, and eBay come to mind. After more than forty years, believe me, I’ve explored every avenue. For those just starting out or looking to expand their show wardrobe, I’ve included some of my favorite tried-and-true sources on these pages. With a little patience, you can build a wardrobe to suit any show ring.

“So, who would you give your own, hard-earned money to buy a dog for you?”
That was the conversation starter between a group of successful dog men and women who were sitting around a big table and sharing a meal after a long day of showing dogs.

Another Steel Valley Cluster aka “Canfield” is in the books. As always, the cluster did not disappoint! This is the third year the cluster has used the new, air-conditioned building for some breed judging (toy, terrier, and most of the Non-Sporting breeds) and group judging. It seems to me that since the building has been included in […]
