It's soooo hard to get there but if you put your mind to it I bet you can get yourself there. My friend Dylan Kipp with her Norflok Terrier(shes in Wisconsin) went there this year. Shes an awesome junior and does a great job whenever she uses a different dog.Open Intermediate is a tough class so I wish you the best of luck to be the number one OI in the country!!!! I think that's an awesome idea, about switching dogs and all, but think about it some dogs you have to bond to to be able to handle them.The first dog I ever worked with tested me for a month before he really worked for me. Anyway it does sound so cool, the jumper is to get AKC to go along with the idea. melissa ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
