How to Show/Handle a Siberian Husky?

I have a very well trained Siberian Husky, she is young (about 7 months) but I am curious on how to handle her in a show? How should I walk her, etc. I want to show in conformation or maybe a puppy class. What should I expect? Sorry for all the questions, but I know nothing about showing a dog.

Hi I happen to be a Student who is learning about dog behaviour.
To show the Husky you should walk her on a lead (or without if she wont run away)
Close to heel (Try to not let her get distracted or run away) 


And if you are holding her on the lead then coil the lead around your hand about 4 times and then leave a little bit of the lead sack between your hand and the dog.
And walk on with her and be proud of owning such a clever dog :)
Hope this helps!!


Belgian Nutt:
Novices who don't know how to show need to get their dog into handling classes. Your dog needs them to get used to the whole atmosphere, gaiting and stacking with TONS of distractions, and you'll be taught how to correctly gait and stack your dog, as well as things like ring procedures.

You'll just be wasting your money and time entering a show when you don't know what you're doing. Get into classes, then show your puppy.


Apple:
dog are typically shown at a TROT
fan fold the lead in you had so more can be let out if needed conformation dog are NOT expected to heal
classes are likely you best option
