Laurie is right - around our areas you are up against tough competitors - dogs in full coats, dripping in hair with their very experienced and well-know handlers. Infact they usually do not start showing a dog till they are a min. of 2 years old. So it is tough trying to get the points here. I am getting close - most of the time always just behind Kirsten. That doesn't get me the points though. You also have to remember that with professional handlers - this is their job showing. They know what they are doing and practice all week. They go to shows most weekends.
Same thing with me - only one UKC show here in Georgia a year (Perry), which is south of Atlanta.

She right in your back yard. Didn't she just move to GA?
Perry is this weekend. I haven't looked at the judges but Rowdy Yates usually gets good ones. The last show Ann Hearn the AKC judge was there and Joyce Lea Hanson judged the winter show. I like to show for her. She has been breeding Yorkshire Terriers for years. She gives lots of time in and out of the ring.
