Not bad at all elle, I still like the idea of mentoring as I believe if more people were to do it over here then newcommers wouldn't feel so put off by the whole thing. Many get scared after just a few shows as it all can seam so daunting when you dont have somebody to show you the ropes. My first few shows terrified me. I got better but would have likes more help in learning how to wrap the coats etc. Myshkhas was so slow growing, very very fine and slow to break. A trait she passed to her daughter Chloe though admittedly not so bad or maybe I was just more experienced by then. She was out of the last litter I bred off Myshkha so it took quite a while to get there, but I only rarely bred, 5 litters in total so not to bad I suppose. Chloe did so well for me and it was such a shame that she wouldn't breed.
I suppose I really ought to stop thinking and talking about it and actually start looking as if I dont I'll never take the first step ,lol.
I'll be sure to post pictures when I finally get my girl.
Fortunately both breeders have a good knowledge of the breed, one having won BOB at cruftes, the other a number of years ago produced the top winning dog in China. |
