I found her when searching for Bailey, we got to talking and became friends. She's shared so much information with me but I feel like if I want to succeed at showing I need to find someone who can help me out. Has anyone searched for a 'mentor' before? How did you find yours? Bailey's first show is next weekend and I plan on talking to anyone I can while there, but at previous shows I've been to, people have been very standoffish. I tried talking to this one woman about her ddb's at the last show Dozer was in and she flat out told me "I'm not interested in talking to a newbie" and walked away from me 
So what would you suggest I do? Email breeders? How willing are showers/breeders usually to help out new people? |
The woman takes you to Brazil for then dumps you right before your first show???
Well atleast your fiance has shown your ddb before so you won't be entirely lost in the whole thing, hopefully things will go very smooth.
