First thing to do is register him with the Kennel Club, then find out if there's a ringcraft class near you where you can learn the basics of showing. The weekly dog papers (Our Dogs and Dog World) have adverts for forthcoming shows and details of how to obtain schedules. Good luck!

We found a companion dog show locally just to have a go. A bit less serious than a kennel club show and lots of people had never shown before so there was less pressure to be perfect and the stewards were very helpful.

And its fun! The dog should enjoy it as well.:)Good luck.
