There is a lot of research that needs to be done before you even select a mentor because not all mentors are equal. I have learned a lot on YT from many of the show breeders, many who are no longer posting. Show breeders should not be afraid to share basic information, it is very educational.
Thank you.
I am not trying to cut corners, but I also am making the effort to find the information. Mentors do not fall out of the sky and I need to get some knowledge prior to that step. There is a show here in Sept that I plan on attending. I have a few names of exhibitors from my state be it they are about 2 hours away. I have contacted one person who did give me some names and will go from there. One of the names is a person who is in the next town, and being from this area I have seen some of her dogs and read some reviews on her breeding practices and from that would not have her mentor me in anything for sure.
But I was posting about this here thinking that some of the experienced people might know where certain threads are. Just as there are for people looking for a puppy. How to find a good breeder. Cpr for dogs, etc. I just feel that there should be stickies to help find some of the basic info and some reviews of the gotta haves and dont waste your money ones too.
