I have found a breeder for my next puppy. I want to dabble in the ring & will be looking for a mentor in my area. Of course I want to spend some time learning pre-puppy, so if any of you are nearby, just let me know.

I have also seen on AKC site that I can apply for one here in my area. Also, a question if you please....with female dogs, do you have to miss potential shows because of heat cycles? It would seem to me that you would. Just wondered how you get around these things if it's possible, or if that's the reason there seem to be more males in the ring?

There are several confirmation shows coming up in the next few months in Cincy & Columbus that I plan on attending to observe. Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
