Leanne please don't allow your dog to be sheared if you are going to show.
If you would like to contact me about the hand stripping please do

I am having trouble logging into the forum, forgot my username and I have sent an email via the link but had no reply, I sent a reply about stripping to someone on the forum, I went into a dog grooming parlor yesterday and asked advice on stripping and I was told that its only really recommended if your going to show the bt as it is similar to plucking eyebrows. I was advised to get my bt clipped but then she also said a good brush would suffice! The parlour I went to charged £30 for a stripping and £25 for clipping

Thanks for the reply christine! its a shame he cant enter any shows as he is a gorgeous little boy. we had him castrated on monday so his jewels are gone forever! are there any other owners in the area? im in wallsend and it would be nice to see dexter socialise with other bt's,

I am sorry to say that the pup has got to be registered to take part in any KC show.
It is usual for to show a male with his crown jewels too, I am afraid, unless it is due to a veterinary problem and getting friendly with a leg is not a problem that the KC would recognise.
However it does not mean that you cannot come along to shows and view or becoming a member of any BT club to take part with any other activities.

Hi I have a lovely 5 and a half month old BT and I am considering entering him in a show when he is a little older and once I have a little more knowledge of what a show entails! Does a show puppy/dog have to be KC registered? Ours isnt but he is a pure border. Also does a male have to be uncastrated? Our dog still has his crown jewels but we are hoping to have him castrated in the next few months as we have 2 children and he has started getting friendly with some adults legs. I think that is the main 2 questions out the way but any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

If you contact me regarding an older dog/bitch I may be able to help and also if you contact me about becoming a member of a club I will help you with that question too.
