Now that I have my first placement at the US National (2nd 6-9 dog & a 4pt major to boot) I am looking forward to 2006. I know this has been discussed before - but sometimes I am flighty and don't pay attention when I should. I would love to hear details about your conditioning regamine for shows and in particular the national. Exercise, diet, grooming, etc - Be graphic --- in a good way ok - I'm a minister for goodness sakes. Looking forward to hearing from you - Rev.
