My attitude has changed as I have gotten older but no one dog show is worth that kind of money to me anymore. I could have a heck of a lot of fun showing in a local area many many times for what it would cost for one cross country trip In fact I am branching out and taking Liz my cardi into obedience starting in April.i am back to where I started wanting to do it my self and having fun with the dogs Sent from my iPad Sally www.embroiderybysally.com New website============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
