Lorraine,
Thanks for the insight. The reason I mentioned in my original posting that I have shown and been involved with a handler in the past was to let everyone know that I have the "sticktoitness". This is a process that I am continuing to learn about....every day, every show I go to, every person I talk to...
You are very nice in offering your personal wisdom, and I value that a lot.
I may have high expectations for myself, but that is just me......I will keep trying
