Hi group, My daughter has asked me to post to the list her desire to learn to handle GSDs. While she was visiting her father for the summer, she caught the "show" bug and can't get rid of it. She's shown a mini doxie in both Juniors and breed, and now wants to show a GSD (she can handle the specialty ring). The problem is that she lives in Florida and visits CA for the summer. She would like to meet other Juniors as well as handlers in Fl and maybe co-own to show in Juniors. She can not keep a dog where she lives, and her mother promissed to take her to shows as far as Georgia. She is 15yrs old, a straight A student, goes to ROTC (some weekends she competes with her troup), and is very interested to show for fun (although, she is competitive). Is anyone in Tampa that can help mentor her? Thanks Irene ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
