New to showing?
Dog shows are fun!
Even if you're not a breeder, dog shows are such a fun hobby. Participating in shows can:
- Deepen your bond with your dog through shared training and goals
- Teach your dog to behave calmly in busy and unfamiliar settings
- Introduce you to a supportive community of fellow Stafford lovers
- Offer exciting weekend adventures full of new people, places and experiences
Many new exhibitors are surprised at how rewarding their first show is - the excitement, the camaraderie, and seeing your dog shine in the ring is unforgettable. Stafford people are the best, you will always find someone to help you.
The owner(s) of a dog must be financial members of Dogs NZ to enter a dog at a Championship or Open Show. More information on this can be found on Dogs NZ website - https://www.dogsnz.org.nz/shows/breed-shows
If you've ever been curious about dog shows, but don't know where to start have a chat with your breeder or feel free to message us.
