So maybe we should ask the people on this list, of over a thousand members strong, how many of you are actively showing your dogs? Best, Barbara Barbara, I am not showing at all right now for a couple of reasons, first off I have nothing to show (Kolby is retired and Paris has a bite problem), and second even if I did its tough to get time off on weekends to attend shows. Also with all costs going up gas, entry fees, food costs, I can think of better ways to spend my hard earned paycheck like groceries, mortgage, other bills and Christmas. One day in the future I will show again but I would have to have that superstar puppy. Santa are you listening?
