I think that if you show UKC and want to do better, you really need to show in AKC shows too. You can beat handlers, you just need a good dog. So don't give the excuse you do not show at AKC shows due to the professional handlers, not a good excuse. They are just good at what they do, experts in grooming, and know how to handle - that is their profession. But anyone can do as good as they do, if they just try and practice. While I am at a show, I watch carefully and hopefully I learn. |
Well said, I think people are wrong is saying it is easier to get a UKC champion, it still takes time, money and a great dog before you get a champion. I do both and love them both, always a fun hobby and love the time spent with my dog.
