Wow, thanks for all the advice, I guess.
I wasn't trying to come off like some authority on showing, I certainly am not that. I just took the info from the AKC and my own experience and put it together for newbies. People who have been showing for years seem to forget the SIMPLE things, like telling their mentee where to find a catalog and what that even is. I thought I was helping people like me. I made a complete fool of myself the first show I went to because my mentors didn't mention anything to me about how to find my ring, ring time, etc. I guess they assumed that was a 'given'.
But, it's my article and I am trying to contribute a little. Say what you will. I was just trying to help. |
