Showing dogs is a great sport. Good sportsmanship is expected of exhibitors, their families and friends at all times. Being pleasant and respectful of others is as important in the grooming area and at the ring side as it is in the ring.
A positive attitude will be transmitted to the dog, the judge, and spectators. Poor manners or ill temper is not appropriate at the show. Exhibitors should have a winning attitude regardless of placement in the class. Learning and participation are important parts of 4-H.
