Don’t let your dog stand around in a class looking ugly.
Most Bassets tend to stand around in an unflattering pose.
Encourage them to sit and relax when not actively showing them.

Let’s start with the ramp.
![Page 115: Presenting Your Basset Hound! · Present a well-trained dog. 81 We all know Bassets have a sense of ... Keep your dog in the center of the mat. Keep an eye on your dog to make sure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051806/5fff09fd33c54129894e52ba/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
115
Before presenting your dog on the ramp, make sure that it is set up securely.
Not all Stewards or Judges are aware that some ramps can
collapse if not set up properly.
![Page 116: Presenting Your Basset Hound! · Present a well-trained dog. 81 We all know Bassets have a sense of ... Keep your dog in the center of the mat. Keep an eye on your dog to make sure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051806/5fff09fd33c54129894e52ba/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
116
If you arrive at the breed, junior, group, or BIS ring and don’t see a ramp available, politely let
the steward know that the Basset must be judged on the ramp.
That gives them time to call the superintendent’s desk and
secure a ramp.
Do not argue under any circumstances!
Simply request that the AKC Rep report to the ring if necessary.

117
Train your Basset to walk up a ramp, stack &
turn around to go down.

118
When presenting your dog on the ramp, place him to the front left.
The judge can easily examine your dog. Also, it may prevent an accident if the judge
accidentally bumps into the ramp.

This dog is being presented correctly on the ramp.
119
If you must lift them on and off, be careful to keep them balanced and comfortable.

120
This dog is placed too far back and on the far right side of the ramp.

This dog is being presented correctly on the ramp.
121
NEVER jump a dog off the front
of a ramp!
![Page 122: Presenting Your Basset Hound! · Present a well-trained dog. 81 We all know Bassets have a sense of ... Keep your dog in the center of the mat. Keep an eye on your dog to make sure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051806/5fff09fd33c54129894e52ba/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
122
Never showboat with your dog on the ramp. Accidents can and have happened.
A sharp noise can startle a dog and you are too far away to help the situation.
![Page 123: Presenting Your Basset Hound! · Present a well-trained dog. 81 We all know Bassets have a sense of ... Keep your dog in the center of the mat.

123
Common courtesy in the ring is:
Allow the dog on the ramp prior to yours to leave the ramp without crowding him.
![Page 124: Presenting Your Basset Hound! · Present a well-trained dog. 81 We all know Bassets have a sense of ... Keep your dog in the center of the mat.

124
Wait until it has moved past the ramp before placing your dog on the ramp.
Your dog will be more focused for you and you won’t distract the other dog.
![Page 125: Presenting Your Basset Hound! · Present a well-trained dog. 81 We all know Bassets have a sense of ... Keep your dog in the center of the mat.

The Judges Education Committee discourages going over Bassets on the ground. It is often still done.
Train your dog accordingly.

126
In fairness, many judges gained their licenses before the ramp rules came into effect.
It is not unusual for a further examination on the ground to occur.
Be ready for anything.

WicketYou should know how to stack a dog to be measured with a wicket.
Wicket demonstrations are often done at AKC Dog ShowsBy the AKC Representative. It would be a good idea to watch.

Speak no EvilBe very careful when speaking about other dogs.
Depending on the circumstances, it can be a benchable offense.
Remember we all started somewhere, and we want to encourage participation in our events.
Let’s welcome newbies and our other friends and not make fun of those dogs we don’t care for.

The Poop Fairy is a MYTH!
Clean up after yourself. Be respectful of the few places left that allow dogs on
premises. Failure to do so, including at motels is a
benchable offense.
