Whispersmom2 - thank you so much for the compliment. I hope we do great this year in the ring and yes - she does have attitude! I like that to the point that she can show off, but she also must learn that I am boss or at least try to be. Hopefully the confirmation classes will help. I use to do okay in the past ages ago when I showed. My handler also asked me to take a dog in for her (her own) one time and we placed - I think 2nd. So I use to know what to too, but need a refreasher course. I want to put her with a handler when she gets out of her puppy stage to get those points faster. My husband and I were just talking about this last night - that my new homework is to find a great handler that is great with their dogs. I want someone kind and that their first priority is to the dogs and really knows what they are doing. This is serious business.
