Performance/Show Dog Section?

I think it would be a good idea to make a section for performance or show dogs. It would be nice for swapping tips and helping people new to the show dog world. There are so many different types of dog related activities that could be addressed in this type of section: agility, conformation, obedience, rally, flyball, herding, etc...

If I remember right, there was a suggestion not to long ago (I think it was made by Keechak) regarding something similar to this that went under consideration. The idea was for a 'Dog Sports' section with possible subforums for all the popular sports (including Show).

Hopefully it goes though, I think it sounds like a great idea

I don't think it'd have a substantial amount of traffic if broken into a whole bunch of subforums. Just IMO. I wouldn't mind a sport forum though for sport type discussions to be separate from, well.. barking and housebreaking.. haha.

I've thought about that as well, and agree. I was just paraphrasing the original idea

Ahh, gotcha.

I think a Dog Sports section by itself would be a great addition. I'm just getting into conformation and agility so I would love to have a place to discuss those.

I think it is a great idea!

Id like to see dogs that are actually doing something here! I love reading how many of us are actually doing things with our dogs outside of normal pet ownership.

I think that's a great idea as well! I always have to sort through the training threads to find anything about agility or obedience which those are training too but they're more about the sport aspect as they get more serious. Actually I've noticed a lot of us are interested in dog sports.
