Showing your Basset Hound can be quite the adventure. It’s a good idea to make sure your prepared ahead of time for registrations, showmanship, choosing classes, etc. Before you can register for a show or enter your pup in classes you will need to make sure he’s been registered with the AKC. Once you’re registered and you have attended a local show or have taken part in a practice show, you will need to sign up and register for the official show. Confirmation showing is the term used when referring to dog shows. In order to sign up for a class you will need to make sure the breed of your dog is being shown at a particular show. For instance, you will not be able to show your Basset Hound if the show is only open to Husky breeds. For breed information about your Basset Hound, talk with your professional Westside IN vet.
