I'm just a little of the opposite...I'm very competitve by nature...my old volley ball coach can vouch...lol
I want nothing more than to show my own, win or lose, it's sport to me. It is never personal. I have never felt "bad" when losing...just lights the fire under the ol' bum even more to strive more. I love the sport. Whether I fall flat on my face, atleast it was me there giving it my all...that's the only way for me.
Not afraid of proff handlers. I know two personally. They are great people, very helpful but when it comes time to show, they are all business as they should be I suppose. |
I'm really not competitive by nature, just enjoy showing my dogs myself. In the beginning I did use a handler, but I traveled with him and my mentor. He taught me everything he could; ins and outs of grooming, training, care and presentation of dog. It wasn't until my mentor was satisfied with what I had learned and allowed me into the ring. After all it was her breeding in the ring and she wanted me to do it right.
