I've belonged to my local all breed club for the past 3 years (I've been
going there for four). I help teach Puppy Class, Graduate Puppy class, and
Beginners Obedience...been doing that for all of those 4 years.
However, all of my friends are primarily performance people, not
conformation. I'm friends with two conformation people who have completely
different
types of dog from me (they own Dobermans).
It's not feasible for me to drive 2.5 hours to the GSD club that's down near
Milwaukee, and you certainly can't say I don't want it bad enough, because I
go to as many shows as I can and I try to talk to as many people as I can.
But
for the amount of training I do, I can't afford a 5 hour round trip 5 times
a
week to "get ahead"
What do you suggest in a situation like this?
Who says you have to go to the location of your regional club 5x a week?
IF you want this bad enough, sooner or later you'll take a look at that you
ARE doing, and IF it's not working you re-prioritize how you spend your time
and do things differently. Actually, that's a pretty simple premise for all
things in life.
IF helping to teach OB for an AB club isn't getting you to your goals, (and,
although it's probably fun, I don't know how it could, it certainly hasn't
the last 4 years, what makes you think it will in the NEXT 4????), do
something different. Simple.
Or, like Sally suggested, do what she did. But, sorry, AB OB isn't going to
help you learn about showing/breeding GSD breed dogs.
