It's so helpful because you learn as you go and it helps you not feel like it's such a cutthroat sport, though it can be. I only have a few shows under my belt, but I plan to get back out there when I get my girl in the next year. Until then, review and learn, review and learn! :)Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182741108379808026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21677181.post-68066388024775934892012-05-29T09:49:35.310-07:002012-05-29T09:49:35.310-07:00As a newbie myself (and on your circuit ... too ba...As a newbie myself (and on your circuit ... too bad I didn't find your blog in time for the Scarborough shows, but I'll be in Wrentham!), this post hits pretty close to home. I'm very lucky to have some great mentors, but it was pure dumb luck that lead me to them!Rachelhttp://www.ourlifeplusdogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21677181.post-7628649333155909592012-05-28T09:31:37.562-07:002012-05-28T09:31:37.562-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Madeleine G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01611748322784881796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21677181.post-79873659136762949102012-05-28T08:41:10.917-07:002012-05-28T08:41:10.917-07:00As a performance dog person just trying to enter m...As a performance dog person just trying to enter my puppy in his first conformation show, I thank you for this great article!Sara Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891810823999175845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21677181.post-75860367096048517072012-05-28T07:11:00.338-07:002012-05-28T07:11:00.338-07:00As it stands at writing there are no plans for me ...As it stands at writing there are no plans for me to go into the ring myself, but I just might be seen wandering around looking confused while hiding from a smart brown boy who is determined to make sure I'm watching him strut his stuff, and seems to have radar for where I am (I have visions of lurking in a Portapotty, stealthily poking a telephoto lens through the door to try and capture a picture or two!). <br /><br />At the moment, I'm just happy to have figured out the Infodog and Jim Rau sites (now THERE's a good subject for a blog post - they're unfathomable at first unless you already know what you're reading!) and learned that the "novice" tag isn't quite the same as it was in my horseshowing days, and there are more than a few terms I need to recalibrate for canine activities.....<br /><br />It's going to be an interesting summer!Madeleine G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01611748322784881796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21677181.post-16027902459722554872012-05-27T12:08:04.312-07:002012-05-27T12:08:04.312-07:00Hi Y'all,

Unfortunately, unless she has a dog in the same show, you're on your own when you get to the real thing. It would be nice to have a mentor.<br /><br />How y'all doin'? Just stoppin' by for a visit. Hope y'all are having a wonderful Memorial Day holiday weekend.<br /><br />Y'all come by now,<br />Hawk aka BrownDogFANCY the Red Standard Poodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369189341017481001noreply@blogger.com
