Hope you don't mind as I am following some of these threads. I too would like to go to some shows. Can't drive to San Antonio this weekend, but would love to go to some a bit closer for now. I too am interested in possibly showing dogs way way way in the future, but would like to start seeing and studying what all is involved now. Then maybe by the time I'm ready I will be well educated. I am really close to the DFW area. I won't hijack your thread any longer, just hoping you didn't mind if I lurked around?!
