Because of bad knees, old age (LOL), etc., I have handlers showing my dogs. I
like to get them out for training when they're young. Two of them are out
there now. My sable Bailey son,Jude, was a year old in June and will come home
in 2 weeks, knowing what he has to know. He will have been shown a few times
by then--in fact, 4 times by the end of next weekend. Next Spring I'll get
serious, but we will "spot" show him to the right judges this winter. Jeddie,
my black one, will be going to the National--she was 2 in June and is
impeccably trained. We'll probably "spot" show her this winter as well, due to
her color.
Forest was a different story: I bought her last year at this time, when she
was 5--thanks Em and Frank! We showed her a little in the winter and she
finished quickly this summer--she was already very well trained when we got
her.
I guess showing the young ones depends on the amount of money one has to spend
and the patience one has to have. LONG ago (the 80s) Gene Heintz handled my
black puppy Obie to points from the 6-9 class. I got the FEVER, spent a lot of
money, even when he went through an awkward stage. In my old age, I am more
patient! <VBG>
