terrier.2 123 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 ask about for companys to sponsor trophies in return for thier company name on trophy and advertising on schedule...you ll be suprised at how many say yes.........but most of all as donny says,your show will only be as good as the judges you pick...if you pick a judge that choses same dog/person time and time again then forget it...always pick a judge that hasnt judged at all that season then hopefully there is no preconceived opinions of who he will pick..........i have got judges this year from three hundred and fifty miles away,just let someone tell me who will be the winner at my show,the one guy has nt judged for over ten years but god he knows a good dog ...do your homework it will pay off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
