That is something that cannot be learned online.
So I'm sure I'll see you all soon at some shows and I'll keep working everyday with my crew. I'm so excited.
I do have a question about the show in New York, first are you going and are you showing. Also where is a good place to stay. I want to go to watch. |
Pam you are absolutely correct....one has to actually get out there and help the handler/exhibitors, get in the ring and continue to go to as many shows as possible and that is how you can get more experienced in knowing what you are looking for and knowing this breed. I'm proud of you Pam!!! It's a hands on endeavor in my opinion

I can't wait to see you at the shows!! I'm glad you are taking this serious!! I'm happy for you!
I am going to NY and will be showing Radar and possibly a puppy bitch in sweeps and at the YTCA National for a client. We all stay at the New Yorker Hotel! That is where you should stay! Go to the YTCA.org website and it should be posted I think or you can go to the Westminster Kennel Club website and get hotel information there

You will LOVE IT! I hope you get to come!!! AWESOME!!
Donna
