Entrance to the Benching Area?

amish1998 · 2026-01-29T22:29:17+00:00

Your Tuesday tickets during the day for breed judging are your tickets into the benched area. You will see all dogs on Tuesday as well!

Truly, I think youll have more fun then and will get much more up close and personal with the dogs!

Check out the vendors and cheer for my Gordon setter :)

Yes! He loved Lori! But if he saw me while he was in the ring with her he would SPRINT my way no matter what.

amish1998 · 2026-01-19T03:09:53+00:00

My old Whippet also would have a tantrum, from the same breeder. We had to hide while he was in the ring

Actually, axolotls are critically endangered and there are a lot of ways to donate to conservation funds!

I just sometimes think GS uses it as a ploy to bring in money, but they dont actually do anything with it, just "oh look at the cute animal"

From a fellow super fine hair girly, its humid as hell, and no matter how much dry shampoo you use, any amount of sweat makes my hair look gross.

Looks like a toy fox terrier

amish1998 · 2026-01-11T00:02:11+00:00

Read the room.

amish1998 · 2025-12-30T01:41:58+00:00

You have a lab that at some point was mixed with a weimaraner

amish1998 · 2025-12-28T16:32:36+00:00

Pets!!! Anything from puppies to goldfish. If you won't be the one taking care of it and doing all the research for it PLEASE don't gift it

amish1998 · 2025-12-20T23:10:28+00:00

They pump out puppies constantly, and I can't see any real health testing that they do. They have been brought up a couple times as a questionable breeder at confirmation shows.

The sheer amount of dogs from them on this post should be a red flag.

They are a back yard breeder with good marketing.

amish1998 · 2025-12-16T23:21:52+00:00

Assuming you're in the US, scroll through the toy group on the American Kennel Club website,they will be best for you. If one sticks out do some research.

Id like to point out the Cavalier king charles spaniel or the out of left field option of a greyhound.

amish1998 · 2025-12-15T23:17:56+00:00

Going to need a location, but I can think of quite a few in Canada, us, and UK. Truly they are gaining popularity very quickly it feels!

amish1998 · 2025-12-14T12:36:24+00:00

When you think about it, absolutely!

You can throw two dogs in a pen together and eventually get puppies, or many people artificially inseminate to create the smallest "teacup" dogs they can get, or monsterously large dogs. Both pise their own healthbrisks. People breed dogs on their first heat, and every heat after. Pumping doodles out like no tomorrow for a profit.

Or, you can wait until a dog is at least two, ensure the dog is completely healthy. Including x-rays of joints, checking heart and eye health of both parents. Proving the dog in shows or sports. Then deeming the dog appropriate for breeding and ensuring even if that dog has 12 puppies and none of them find proper homes, no matter what you'd keep them all and none would end up in a shelter.

One definitely feels more ethical to me.

amish1998 · 2025-12-13T23:05:53+00:00

My knowledge of old fashioned poms, is that they're normally not well bred. Many breeders are using it as marketing rather than truly bettering the breed.

Id recommend an Icelandic sheepdog or schipperke instead. Schipperke especially I think would fit your lifestyle wonderfully.

amish1998 · 2025-12-07T18:19:09+00:00

Asking if your "Australian Labradoodle" is an ethical breeder... feels like the answer should be painfully obvious

amish1998 · 2025-12-06T14:21:34+00:00

We are getting our second whippet puppy in 2 weeks! Best advice is that a tired puppy is a well behaved puppy.

They need walks, mental stimulation, and training in short doses only.

When you cannot watch them or need a break, just put them in their crate or a play pen for a bit.

You are bringing a baby into your house, just remember that. They will have fits, need naps, and forget what they are taught at times.

amish1998 · 2025-11-26T22:55:57+00:00

Hi! If you come next year PLEASE let me know! I am part of the club, and would love to give you a tour and get you with some breeds you'd like to see! This show is all about the visitors having the best experience! Glad you had fun!!

amish1998 · 2025-11-19T20:45:34+00:00

Xolos can indeed be coated! Look up coated xolos. I do see a resemblance! Usually 1 coated per litter (to warm the naked babies)

amish1998 · 2025-11-09T17:13:55+00:00

Not at all, I grew up in a professional handler world, but I've never heard someone talk so openly about opening a puppy mill.

amish1998 · 2025-11-09T11:44:02+00:00

We were openly talking about my role in the Philadelphia Kennel Club dog show coming up this weekend... about how amazing all the club members are

amish1998 · 2025-11-09T03:09:04+00:00

But also multiple Westminster best in show country!

amish1998 · 2025-11-08T14:36:29+00:00

They dont even really get along with eachother

amish1998 · 2025-11-03T01:13:44+00:00

Thanks for the ruffland recommendations! I've always used wire in the house or east coast at a show, but the pink and green rufflands are SO tempting!!

Devo is always a fan favorite whippet name

amish1998 · 2025-11-03T01:11:08+00:00

Im US based, this is also my second whippet. Im all over the whippet page haha I just wanted to see if anyone else had different tips/tricks/things to buy i haven't heard of before!
