You are going to run into some VERY busy people, that have MANY THOUSANDS of dollars invested in dogs, and if they take their valuable, priceless information/advice and share that with you, often as they are shedding blood, sweat, and tears getting their dogs ready to enter the ring, you take it graceously, with appreciation for any nugget of information you can gleen from these very busy people, and if necessary, go to the ladies room and cry! Not everyone you are going to run into is going to be all sugary sweet, patting and coddling you as they impart information that took THEM years to learn. Be appreciative, gracious (even in defeat!), go out back and cry, and then get on with it! |
Good advise, one of the things I've read over and over is to "develop a thick skin." I also think most good breeders are fiercely protective of their dogs, and that's the primary thing that matters. I think people breeding to sell their offspring, (salesman) are much more likely to be sugary sweet and coddling, at least until they make the sell.
