For me it is also about the friendships you make and the good times you have at the shows with friends....the breakfasts, lunch and dinners afterwards. My dogs show in conformation, obedience and rally ---the latter two I handle myself. I love the interaction with the dog and the bonding that occurs. Just because it seems you do not enjoy it or want to do it, don't belittle those who do. JMHO Kay Springer www.showboatgsd.com Home of Multi BISS & Multi Group Winning Ch. Rohan's Reward TC,CGC,HT,CD,RE,CHIC 73 BOBs - #5 & #6 GSD 2009 and proud of it!!!
