TOPIC | Dog fancy / Silken Windhounds
Hi! I'm just curious to see if anybody else on FR is in to any of the following...

Dog shows
Dog sports
Service dog training
dog training in general

I do all of the above and really enjoy it. I show in UKC and my breed is Silken Windhounds. I own two, one being my service dog, and the other in training to be my next service dog.
I also show both of them, and do sports with the younger one. She's a BIG fan of lure coursing, hoping to start titling her soon since she's old enough now (finally).

I'm heavily involved in my breed so if there are any other Silken people here I'd be thrilled to chat!

Windhounds are gorgeous!! I love sighthounds, they are so ethereal! (psst psst do you have pictures :>)

I have a 1 yr old toy poodle with limited registration, I honestly would like to get her into agility and/or obedience because she's very smart and very energetic, but I honestly don't even know where or how to begin with all of that!

I went to dog shows a couple of times when I was a little kid. My dad liked doing the competitions where they make the dogs walk in a big circle and judge them on stuff. We had golden retrievers.

One of my uncles used to work at a dog rescue organization as a trainer but nobody's heard from him in years.

@laikovich That's really cool! Goldens are always such a fun breed.

Hello!!! Dog nerd here :)

I don't do Confo yet but I do hope to get into it with Great Pyrs someday ^^

I have (albeit BYB -I didn't know better at the time) a Great Pyr named Artie and she's my baby. She was supposed to be a flock guardian but she likes to chase birds. I wanna see how she does with Dock Diving but I haven't been able to get it set up for a couple of reasons.

I, in general, love LGD breeds and other Guardian breeds. Terriers come in second as my favorite. But I have a soft spot for Pugs too ^^

@BeeFuzz Ohhh thats so cool! I saw a couple of BEAUTIFUL pyrs at the last show I was at last weekend :-) They are so fun!

Dock diving seems fun! I want to try it with one of mine, but we won't have a local pool to practice in for at least another year.
Right now we mostly do lure coursing and confo :-)

Ohhh I love LGDs, theyre so fun! I have a friend who showed their Anatolians in westminster last year!

My spouse and I got pretty into dog shows and sports when we started shopping around for our pup!

I've got a Kooikerhondje that I'd love to do some sport with. I think he'd love FastCAT and maybe agility.
