Want To Start With Dog Shows? Show Small Dogs!
Article by Blake Kritzberg
The lights, the ring, the glamour! Ever think you might like to become involved with showing dogs? If so, then starting with “toy” or small dogs can offer a great way to enter into this hobby with fewer demands on your time and space than a larger breed might involve.
The purpose of a dog show is to compare all entered dogs of a specific breed against a pre-established, written breed standard of perfection. The winners, or Best of Breed dogs, then compete against each other for Best in Group within one of the seven basic groups to which their breed has been assigned (the Herding Group, Hound Group, Non-Sporting Group, Sporting Group, Terrier Group, Toy Group or Working Group). The winner of each group then goes on to compete for the coveted Best In Show title and hopefully, earn more points toward a Championship.
As a new entrant to the world of dog shows, you’ll find there are advantages to showing small dogs over larger dogs.
Sitting Pretty
First, small show dogs generally take less time and effort to bathe and blow dry before a show. You may think this detail almost inconsequential, but after you attend a number of shows it becomes more important. Small show dogs are also easier to lift in and out of a tub, and require less water, soap and conditioner. With the exception of long-coated breeds, less dog equals less hair, which equals less drying time. As a result, it’s possible to thoroughly bathe and groom six toy-sized show dogs, like Chihuahuas, in the time it takes to groom one large Standard Poodle show dog!
Git Along, Little Doggies
Secondly, showing small or toy dogs means you can show more dogs because they take up far less space. Each small show dog requires a small traveling crate, but crates of that size are light to transport and simple to store. Small show dogs also require the use of grooming tables, but as long as they get along, two small show dogs can share one table.
Easy Does It
The third factor is, showing small dogs requires less physicality on the part of the person handling them. You’ll seldom see small show dog handlers huffing and puffing as they race around the ring. Instead, small show dogs work harder to cover ground and keep up with the handler, whereas large show dogs cover ground in great strides, requiring the handler to work to keep up. In addition, “setting up” a small dog for viewing is a simple physical task, whereas a larger dog can involve much more effort.
As you can see, showing small dogs enjoys a bit of an advantage over showing large dogs. As a result, you may find that showing small dogs makes a very rewarding start to a downright addictive hobby that you and your mini champ can enjoy together for years.

Dog Grooming Table question by Negativ: How much did it cost you to start your own grooming salon?
I just got a job as a bather at the Petsmart grooming salon. They are sending me to their “grooming academy” in February. I was just wondering how much it would cost to start my own grooming salon? Maybe in my house – or maybe if I found the right building to buy, I’d have a business. I live in South Dakota. The groomer that I take my dog to now works out of her house – it’s really clean and nice!
So, the clippers I’d need, dryers, cages, grooming table, etc.
Anyone reading this actually a groomer? Anything you can tell me about the job? I’ve always liked giving my dog baths, giving my parents dogs baths and cutting their hair. 
I’m really excited to start my new job!

Answer by tankstar1985
Giving a dog a bath is much different then actually grooming. Are youw illing to do the gross stuff? Anal glads, ears so full of stuff you want to die fromt he smell? Dogs pooing peeing on you, throwing up on you? clippers, grooming table, nooses ect are all small things right now, you need to look in the long run for this. going to a school like petsmart is not going to make you a groomer in a few months, it takes YEARS of practice and patentice to et to being your own boss. You need clientele, clippers alone will un you hundreds of bucks, so do scissors, hair dryers. then cages tables ect. are you going to use your own house? water bills, electricity is used SO much while grooming. If you rent out a place, as you willing to pay for any alterations to the place as needed (a all bath tub ect)?, will they cover the bills for water hydro ect? it takes alot and many years to get to where you can run your own place. the lady I work under has been doing grooming for 10 years, on her own only 4 of those years. You need a good mentor. if you are serious about doing this. find a good doggy salaon, get out of petsmart, and get in to a real salon one who will help you learn and not just be funded by a large franchise.

Grooming you dogs paws with clippers
This is me, In my bathroom (its the only room in the house with enough light to actually show you what I’m doing) Shaving the pads of my dog Sora’s feet. He really does not like his feet touched, but he is getting much better. I put my dogs on my lap because they are so small, but if you had a large dog you could sit them on the floor or grooming table and do the same thing. always try to Scoop out the hair you never just jab the clipper straight into the paw or you could cut the dog. I do this usually at least once a month on my dogs. I’m sorry if I sound stupid. The only areas I shave on my poms (unelss there is a disaster) is their pads of their feet, and around their private areas so they dont get mats or pee & poo stuck to them.
