Congrats on BOS and getting him so close to his championship! Hey if you are enjoying showing him I would continue to show him yourself. Many people advised me to get a handler for our first show dog, and although he never finished I can't even begin to tell you everything we learned from showing him ourself. His offspring are now in the ring, one in Canada and 2 here that are doing very well owner handled. I almost have his daughter finished and I know I wouldn't be this far with her if I didn't have that first hand experience. Yea he probably would have been finished no problem but I'm not sure I want to trade those experiences for the title. I don't think there is a magic age, I think they all mature differently. I have seen young dogs finish and I have seen some dogs not go in the ring until 3 years old or later, in full coat and ready to compete. I live in the NE corner of Ohio! We have a beautiful show on Lake Erie we will be attending in July and then a nice 4-day cluster too in Ohio at the beginning of August. Let me know if you want more information and I would be happy to give you the details. |

I will get the information together for the shows and send it to you! |
Gail, There is nothing more satisfying by finishing your own dog for the first time! He's young still and he only has 4 more points go for it yourself girlfriend! You can do it I have confidence in you!!! Good Luck this weekend!! Call me when you can. Donna |

I shouldn't judge from a couple of pictures, but I think he had a happier expression when you were in the ring with him. |

Gail, I think it's wonderful that you are showing Razz ! I know it can be discouraging.....trust me , I know !! I am so knew at this, and I get all of those same comments as you do from my peers,it can be so frustrating ! But, I do love to show and I really want to finish Sebastien myself. I'm sure that if I had a handler showing him, that he would be finished now. Like Razz , Sebastien is just a little more than 18 months, also he is not big....weighing in at a whopping 4 1/2 lbs., But he's beaten some pretty tough competition, and I'm determined to do this on my own. I totally agrre with Jackie, I've learned so much through each show and preparing for each show.I wouldn't know what I do now if I had gotten a handler. Like Donna said, you can do this....and by what I'm reading, you really want to ! You go Girl !! |

I can see him standing like a pro -- he looks so serious and intent in the pictures. |
