Well said Roxann, could not have said it better! The thing of it is, I
think if people see your face more often, they seem to accept you more.
Thats kind of what I have noticed, and without us newbies, entering our
dogs, how would these people winning majors do it without newbies
entries....My money, dog, personality and what have you is just as good as
anyone elses. Believe me, I have had a lot of back trash myself when I
first started, I even heard it and was crushed. Thats why I got away from
it for a while but then Art came along and said just do it, who cares what
anyone thinks,so thats what I am doing.
And on top of all that, Iam really glad to have met you and some others that
I have met....very helpful people...thanks.
Giselda

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Helping Newbies
Being fairly new to showing although i have always had German shepherds I'd
like to say that we need more mentors helping out the newbies. It has been a
rough road for myself trying to get people to be friendly and give advice
without being put out. I recently approached a new person and gave advice on
showing and she was greatly appreciative for my thoughtfulness. She also has
had a hard time meeting people and making friends. She is young and very
excited to show but was becoming disappointed in how she was treated. I have
been lucky enough lately to get myself a good mentor and help guide me along
and introduce me to people who seems to be very nice and some not so. But
that is fine. I take it all in stride. I'm not a quitter and have prevailed
through alot of mean remarks and laughs behind my back. It's the love for
the breed that keeps me going. . My point is Help these new people yes,
there competition but that's what it's all about. And without
the new young and upcoming exhibitors and handlers you all ask, where will
we be in the near future. I'd like to see more kindness and introductions to
the new people you meet at shows. You never know they may teach us all a few
new things and what does it hurt in meeting new friends and answering a few
questions. Alittle kindness can go along way.
