I think it all depends on the person, too. If going to the shows is a hobby to
do while you travel the country and dine in fine establishments, it’s all added
in. :-)
I finished my first GSD by seeing the great states of California, Oregon,
Washington, Utah, Colorado and dined in some of the first restaurants in each
of the states. It took 3 years of showing Moxie bare naked, 18 month old
really awkward stage, and finally a gorgeous plush nice bitch in a few months.
The other dogs were well on their way when life intervened, but the good dogs
were getting major reserves and BOWs from about the time they were 2 (I learned
and just showed myself a lot)
Have fun and if you can afford it, don’t worry about the points :-) was Jim’s
and my mantra. Not a good way to do it, but it was our way.
Not a GSD in my house today :-(
In a couple of months…. we’ll see.

I could have bought a lot of small houses in the country! Spent more money on
buying dogs and trying to finish them then I did on two divorces! I must be
doing something wrong... Stay away from women and show dogs! Got that great
advice a little too late! :( FB

The post I got had no personal address on it. Not at the top, not at the
bottom, and not hidden within the post. So, here is my response.
I try not to bother people with my opinions, and the question you asked is
impossible to answer. There are so many factors such as picking the right
judges, local or distant shows, specialty or all -breed, etc.
I remember the answer Jerry Guzman gave when asked what it would cost to
finish a dog.
He said a very good dog, not that much. An average dog, the cost of a small
house in the country.

Hello again-
Referring to the copied post below my signature--
I posted this last week-but got ONLY ONE response--and that was from a
personal friend who is a lister. I thought this was what the list was about,
showing and talking about all the venues of how/what/why/ etc--
This is why I RARELY post to the list. Noone even bothers to answer me.
I guess I am a bit Disgusted, and maybe a bit hurt-why did I not get any
answers??

This is the post from last week that no one answered:
Hello to all,
I have a friend who I am trying to talk into showing her bitch.
Assuming that this bitch is a typy black and reddish tan OR perhaps a nice
dark sable, pretty, nice coat, gorgeous mover, great temperament, ring
trained-----------------and will be shown with a known handler--
I would like for as many as possible of you listers out there to give me your
opinion of :
1. What is the AVERAGE length of time you should expect to finish this bitch.
( I know there are many variables here is why I said AVERAGE length of time)
how many months/years??
2. HOW MANY SHOWS should it take--(assuming all breed mostly-perhaps a few
specialty)
Can some of you tell me (and you dont have to mention the dogs name if you
dont want to) some of the dogs you have finished-how many shows it took and
what was the length of time??
THANKS MUCH for your info. I am looking for OPINIONS here please.
