Welcome to the 2010 Class for

BEST LURCHERS AND LONGDOGS

Your Judge for this class is Dogsey member

ELIGIBILITY

Any Sighthound breed crossed with any other breed or mixture thereof,
and in any percentage, is a Lurcher

Longdogs are any Sighthound x Sighthound

If your dog is, or you believe to be, [ ie a rescue dog ], a Lurcher or Longdog as per the above definition, you are eligible for this class, but not the Crossbreed class

Your dog does not need to look like a `traditionally recognisable` Lurcher or Longdog,
each dog will be judged on his or her individual merits
regardless of the mixture involved


Entries for this class should be of dogs over the age of 6 months

For this Class you may enter TWO photos :

one in a show pose (side on) or as near as you can get.
the 2nd photo is to suport the first and can be a head shot, a shot to show your dog's gait or any other photo which will help the judge decide.

`Show Pose` can be free standing or stacked.
Examples of what to aim for in terms of poses can be seen

Here
and
Here

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 doesn't 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`

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


In this particular class :

You can enter more than one dog, but only two photos per dog.
