Hello! I recently entered this photo into a PKC Conformation show -- I didn't place anything, so I decided to ask here and see if there was anything I could do better? I'm very new to this PKC showing thing and any tips would be appreciated Also, how long does it take for a pet to champ, typically? Just wondering what I should be expecting. Thanks!

Hmm. Trying to figure out if she's too far away from the camera. Overall it looks good, no major flaws that I can see.
As for how long it takes for a pet to champ, it honestly depends on your competition (if their poses are better or if there's 20+ petz entering at the same time). 1 month is the fastest and can be achieved by entering a ton of shows at the same time OR getting a Winner's Circle placement (BIS is worth like 5 points alone, half needed for championship). But I've had petz who have shown for half a year to even a year so it can take a while.
Another big factor is if your pet is faulted. I've had a pet showing for a year because he had two faults and his ring wasn't very big so he managed to champ but otherwise I could've kept showing him for another year, tbh.
There really is no way to guarantee how long your pet will take to champ, I wouldn't even begin to try to guess accurately so I'm just telling you what I know from personal experience showing in the PKC.

Okay, thanks I also asked on the PKC forums, someone said that I need to make sure my cat is at it's highest breathing point, so that it's back is straight (rather than the three lines of pixels as in my picture). Just in case that helps anyone else. Thanks for the info on champing too!
