Showing your Sussex Spaniel
If you think you’d like to get involved in dog showing the first thing to do is go to shows and watch what happens. Decide if this is something you really want to do. There are many shows you can go along to. Just look at the SSA show calendar and you’re bound to find a show near you. Also, take a look at our showing photo gallery to find out more.
The SSA holds two shows a year in April and September, oh and don’t forget Crufts (held in March) for a full-on, immersive, showing experience.
Some quick tips:
You will need to train your dog
Think about the equipment you will need
Showing your dog requires planning
Alway be a good sport!
