Welcome to the Class for

PASTORAL AV

Your Judge for this class is Dogsey member Megan57Collies

Entry to this class is open to all breeds in the Pastoral Group which are owned by any Dogsey members, whether your dog is Pedigree paper`ed, or not, working or not, registered or not, owned since puppyhood or adopted as a rescue or other non breeder source, all dogs within the UK KC breeds list under the Pastoral Group can be entered in this class regardless of whether or not they are recognised as breeds outside of UK.

Breeds not currently UK KC recognised will have their own Show posed class in the show

For anyone not familiar with showing at all, AV means Any Variety of dog within a Group
[ Gundog, Terrier, Hound etc ].

Details of relevant eligible Pastoral breeds are here :

http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/item/6

Entries for this class should be of dogs over the age of 6 months and photographed in a Show pose or as near as you can get.

`Show Pose` can be free standing or not, excellent examples of what to aim for are
HERE

and
HERE

Please don`t include any identifying faces of handler,as gorgeous as you owners are, its your dogs we want to see

You may need a friend or family member to take the pic for you [ unless free standing ] or you can have someone else stand the dog while you take the pic, so long as the photographer is not a professional as per the general rules of entry here

Virtual Companion Show FAQ

Don`t worry if your dog does`nt stand `just so`, the main thing is to enter a nice clear side-on pic of the dog standing up and it does`nt matter if its indoors or outside, but preferably not on a formal `showing table`

As there is a very uneven split between number of breeds by size, the entries will be marked as Girl or Boy
[ All on the same thread this time to streamline entry threads done by gender ]

You can enter as many of your dogs as are eligible for the class, but only one photo per dog.

----------------------------

Please send your entries for this class via pm to
Mahooli


Please put the name of the class as the title on your pm and the gender of the dog

Do not put anything else in the pm.

Do not post your own entries on the thread, it will be done for you by Mahooli as soon as she receives your entries.

As there are breeds in this group which may be unfamiliar to the audience, Mahooli will put the entrants breed above each photo as well as the gender so please make sure you give the details required for this class.

The Judge will shortlist three from each gender
which will then be placed from First to Sixth place.

Closing date for entries for this class will be 24/10/07

Good luck to all, especially to our Judge for this class
