Morning Mary,
This is a good question, glad you asked it! I'm actually still learning but like you it took me getting in the ring and getting a few champions under my belt but with that said...I've been showing now for about 6 years and I still have uncertainity in evaluations of my pups. I know what I want and what I like and what it takes but with my limited breeding I'm still taking it all in. I still ask my mentors and other exhibitor/breeders for their opinion while in the evaluation stage. But I strongly believe one has to be in the ring and out there and have a few champions under their belt. While I have my opinions I feel I have enough knowledge to evaluate in what i want to watch for the show ring and then go from there
I hope that made some kind of sense LOL
