Thanks Beth, she is catching on quick with the helpful tips from Jeff, Denise, and Gena. The same day she took Breed at the Wolverine show, she also was asked by Margo to take her 12-18 bitch back in for winners and was awarded a 3pt major much to Margo's delight! ; ) Those wins sure did boost her confidence level! : ) Her Nana and Aunt were pretty excited too ; ) We started her out with puppies and hard to handle dogs, because after all not all dogs are easy to handle. We just recently put her on GCH Rihanna to polish up her technique and give her more confidence. I like to see the handlers give tips to the young handlers coming up, encourage not discourage, they have the young legs right now and are our future : ). The smile in her BOB picture says it all MYJOY SHEPHERDS Joyce Willis -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Wilkerson <wilkersonem@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wed, Sep 12, 2012 11:55 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] FW: Re: The time has come Lets also not forget another promising young lady, Madison. I have had the leasure of meeting Joyce Willis a couple years ago and Madison. At first she idn't have alot of confidence, but by watching Jeff Pyle and getting tips from oyce, she has become a very good handler. She handled GrCh Rhianna to Best of reed at the Wolverine German Shepherd Dog Club Specialty over Labor Day eekend. Joyce made sure she understood that to take the excessive energy out f her, she needed to be run her a little bit and she did it, with no omplaints. Madison takes things very serious and also has a soft hand for the ogs. Look out Jimmy!! he awesome team of Madison and Rhianna are going to the National to compete in he Juniors class and I think Breed ring. I give a standing ovation to them ll, Gena, Madison, Summer and others. lizabeth > To: medusasmom1@xxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: The time has come From: myjoygs@xxxxxxx Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 06:58:07 -0400 Your right Tamik, Gena is an extremely talented young handler.
