Jackie - you have the attitude about this everyone should have. You like to show and have fun. Don't need a special award to do it. That is exactly why after 6 yrs of just watching I got my corgi. I wanted to show and have fun. I am doing that and we are starting obedience this summer. What a shame that people need an award to get out there with their dogs and have fun.
