HI Folks, There is a need for someone to Mentor a Young Lady that is planning to get into some serious showing. I spoke with her at length and she has been showing in 4H with a Working lines GSD and now wants to take the plunge and get into handling and showing in the ALL Breed circuit. She contacted me for a Puppy to buy, but after talking at length with her, she is looking for something to get outthere with right now and show. She is in her first year at Veterinary Medicine so her time right now will be limited, but she has the desire. She is from the Southern Ohio area...close to Cinci. 1) should she be mentored by someone from that direct area? 2) is there anyone in the mentor program from that area? 3) if not, what can I do to help her? 4) Am I nuts for trying?
