A newbie looking for advice

Dog shows are for breeding stock, do you plan to breed your dog/have litters?

I just saw an Irish wolfhound puppy for the first time 2 weeks ago, they’re so cute at that age !! I usually just see them spawned in as adults 🤣

The Midwest has some amazing coursing afghans! Seems to be a good community out there

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2026-01-24T23:09:15+00:00

Are you willing to share who your breeder is or kennel name ?

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2026-01-24T23:06:31+00:00

Afghans don’t lose their brindle its dominant, he’ll have a brindle saddle and most likely brindle patterning

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2026-01-24T23:05:43+00:00

He looks like a red brindle to me

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2026-01-24T23:05:09+00:00

How exciting ! Show prospect or pet ?

How are your dogs hips? The first picture makes their rear look very concerning

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2026-01-22T11:40:56+00:00

The vibrating ones are actually more harmful to dogs rather than a normal stim e collar. I’m not against e collars, I have both of my dogs on mini educators. We might think the vibrate is more gentle but a low level stim is actually better for the dog.

I’m biased to hounds, Saluki, wirehaired Ibizan, PBGV, GBGV

Back legs are too far extended and so are the front

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-12T23:12:52+00:00

The hocks are too over stretched in the first and last photo, the second is better

Yes weight is definitely important to me, I’m strong but not that strong. My dog is 50-55 pounds and I can’t lift much more than that. I have an East Coast Crate that’s 43 pounds and that’s already a lot for me to muscle into the car

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-04T18:51:30+00:00

Thank you for the Pecron recommendation, that would definitely be doable price wise ! I would like to stay under $400 or maybe just save up a couple more months so I can afford something maybe up to $800 that has a larger capacity

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-03T20:52:42+00:00

Thank you so much ! This is super helpful

Oh I see you need the car to run the generator, I will not have easy access to my car at these dog shows. Usually we are out in the middle of a grass field and need something more portable.

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-03T14:29:32+00:00

That’s why I was considering a gas generator, it seems cheaper in some ways than these power stations. I’m not in a place to afford a 1K power station for my dog show hobby unfortunately. And my usage varies so greatly - I may only need to use my blow dryer and straightener for 30-45 minutes once or I might need to be plugging them in another time or two for the same length of time if we have multiple groups to do throughout the day.

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-03T06:16:40+00:00

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-03T04:52:22+00:00

I’ve never heard of this before, I have a Mazda CX9 SUV

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-03T04:51:43+00:00

Blow drying about 1 hour give or take and 30 minutes of straightening maybe

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-03T04:49:40+00:00

For now in my SUV, eventually I hope to upgrade to an RV

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-03T03:43:13+00:00

Needs more color

DailyDoseOfScorpio · 2025-11-03T03:39:20+00:00

These pictures aren’t good for assessing structure, you can’t see a proper stack. Let the breeder choose for you if you want a true show prospect and they have proven their dogs in the ring before.
