So much to learn for a newbie and if you do write the article I wouldn't advertise puppies for sale...
Heck I never post when I have puppies although I haven't had a litter in 2 years but the point is I don't advertise puppies for sale even on my website...
Just doesn't look good in my opinion

I agree with you 100% Donna. There were two excellent articales on in YT and I think the other in the Gazette. Both were similar and recent, about starting out in the show world. How it is very easy for the newbie to pick on the wrong mentor....and the correct way to pick one out. I know that when attending shows, I tend to lean to those ole timers that have been in it for decades. Keep my ears open and still ask questions.
There are plenty of mentors out there; what is difficult for them is to identify that newbie that is a willing pupil.
There are people that I know on a personally that have been in a hurry and been taken to the cleaners by thousands of dollars. If it can be stressed to newbies how important a mentor is in starting out, then I think we've all contributed to that newbies chances of staying in it for longer than 5 years.
