If the breeder was breeding for structure, attitude, health, etc your girl may very well have the "it" factor for the ring. There is a little difference in raising a pet vs raising a show dog...Remember Champions are born, but they have to be molded to succeed.
If you really want to do this, don't be intimidated...go for it. But, have your girl evaluated by a handler or judge or a reputable/show breeder. You'll never know if she has it until you get her in the ring. |
I'm a groomer - been grooming Field Spaniels for show so I would love to do my girls. But I'm not sure if I would be too emotional to be a handler for my girls.
My friend shows Yorkies and does very well with hers. her son is amazing handling in the ring. But I feel like such a dork and I don't want my girls to be judged b/c I'm a dork.
Thanks for the advice - I'm just going to have the girls looked over and see what happens. There's a show in MO this month so I'll go - watch, talk to some handlers, breeders and try to learn as much as possible.
