Thank you. I have a good mentor/ breeder who has been breeding/showing/judging for 40+ years. I have been going to shows and watching her dogs as well as other breeders for over a year. I don't expect to learn everything from books, of course, but I have seen some books on structure, movement etc. - like Doogy Steps and wonder if there are any that the breeders in this forum feel are invaluable to them. I want to start building a resource for myself and want to hear what others have to say in addition to my mentor. I am expecting a show puppy and of course, I don't see breeding as something I will venture on my own for years to come - just trying to learn to evaluate traits of the various lines out there. I guess I am hooked LOL, - I watch hours of dog show videos on line and ones I have purchased. I look for the nuances that make one dog stand out over another. As for YT magazine, I did read that one, thank you. |
