What do you do with your ribbons?

[MericoX]

Mine are hung on the way wih sticky tac. If they have a hook on them I'll usually hammer it down flat. Before I had everything separated, but now since I want to unearth our 2011 stuff I need to combine and think about doing something different.

You can still get placements if there's no dogs in your class, dogs did worse then you, etc. I have quite a few of these from early years. I like the idea of combining ribbons for titles, though for us in CPE each frame would have to be twice as big as the last LOL

Oh that must vary by venue. For us if you don't Q you don't have a chance of placing. If no one qualified then no one places, no matter how many dogs there are.

Really? What venue? Yeah if you have a time, you are "eligible" to still be in the running for placements. Though CPE is also split up between different levels, heights, and class (regular/veteran, specialist, enthusist)

Wad them up and find them somewhere weird later. LOL

When I showed my horse I had tons of ribbons, and huge ones, so I kind of got over keeping them by time I showed my dog. I LOVE the pillow idea, though. Maybe I should start hanging onto them.

Yea the placement without Q is in USDAA - generally Kes would place 2nd or 3rd out of 6-10 dogs in his height class because he got faults but wasn't eliminated.

AKC (agility and obedience) and UKC (obedience) and APDT (rally)

Kim & I did CPE for two trials and we're I think 3 legs away from our Level 3 title...have 21 legs lol... So I'm somewhat familiar with CPE but it's been a while (2010 I think?). I guess I just never noticed the placement without qualifying thing.

Yeah I was shocked when Sloan took second without a Q at NADAC. In Akc, no Q no place.

We have them on the wall hung on wires, I'd like a better set up though. The more we get te more specific I get and I start pulling all wave winnings and only keep finals for dock/splash dogs. I still keep pretty much all the AKC stuff because we earned those with hard work.

most agility venues do this. Makes sense to me. In obed its fairly easy to Q, at least compared to agility. I have seen courses where maybe one or two dogs (over all dog heights) have made a clean run. The Q rate in AAC (in particular) is relatively low so placement ribbons go out regardless of Qs... I have quite a few 1sts that didn't come with Qs

I typically don't take placements unless they 'mean' something.

I don't have lots of ribbons yet, but I painted a wall in Sunny's room to display them on. I keep meaning to take a picture but I never remember.

I really like that quilt/pillow idea! I may have to borrow it

I'm thinking I may do something special for milestones (like if Sunny ever gets her ATChC) like a shadow box or something.

This is how I feel about all of you right now


So much hate for you all and your stupid pretty ribbons..

"Oh look at me with all my super pretty ribbons, I don't even know what to do with all of them!"

DARN YOU ALL!
