You can definately show him UKC but not AKC due to his color. (white on the chest) One thing I already like about him is his head. I also noticed right away that he has a good amount of under jaw and a long muzzle. Thats great! I seem to notice there's lack of under jaw in Poodles for some reason.
I can't wait to see some body shots and gate pics if your able to take them.
Also there are a husband and wife pro handlers in Bakersfield that focus on Poodles. I believe her name is Margie Sullivan. She handles Karen Sisco's Poodle's from Sisco's Distinctive Poodles in Bakersfield. Karen Sisco is a very nice lady and always was open to answer my questions even though I didn't purchase a dog from her. My Eli is a grandchild from her Mr Hollywood and Chablis.
Anyways, welcome to the forum and Id be happy to try and answer any questions you have about showing. Even though I haven't showed Poodles yet I have plenty of experience (first hand) showing Ukc and Akc with our former breed. My husband makes showing dogs look super easy (he's soo good) so if your ever down near Modesto for a UKC show let me know if you need a handler.
We will still see what happens with AKC , its just a small amout of white. My sister has already cut it off and you can't even see the white anymore lol
IA with you on poodle muzzles !!!!!!!!!!!! that is one thing I notice they lack lower jaws ! this pup has a nice lower jaw !
It was crazy because we went to the dog show in long beach not the eukanuba but the long beach kennel club show that was on friday and this lady sitting next to me was talking about this black male in the ring. the pup was off her dog and she was saying " I love his head its nice and bitchty and refined" In my head I was like this lady needs to stop breeding if she thinks a male poodle should have a bitchy snippy head .... lol :tongue:
I will see if I can get in contact with Karen Sisco , we spoke with the breeder at jaset poodles ( her dog won eukanuba in 06 I believe and placed in westminster) a few years ago she was soooo NICE which is rare in the show world.
