Thank you so very much. I am really appreciating all this wonderful information. I know that getting my first quality dog will be a serious investment, and we're prepared for that. We aren't making any hasty decisions --- we probably aren't even planning to purchase one until after summer time or later. Between now and then, we are catching up on the basics of showing, where to show and such. We've never shown before and we are really interested in it. I know that it is going to require quite a bit of capital, which we are also prepared for.

Diana, thank you for that bit of info you provided to me. A couple of people IM'd me some forums that I will be hopefully become active on soon once I get some things around here squared away and have some more time in front of the 'puter. You guys have been so incredibly helpful.
