Well Laura, thanks for asking!!!
I was contacted by a young man who had just moved here, where he is from, and 
wants to move back to there is a List member who wants him to handle.  Well I 
was thinking before he steps in the ring, he should have a clue......Also there 
is a family that is on their second generation of dogs and is hoping this time 
both can do well in the ring.  Both dogs are nice and ought to finish, maybe 
even owner handled.  And then through my DOG TRAINER'S NETWORK as a member of 
the APDT I met a client of another trainer who wanted to learn to show their 
Cane Corso, just accepted into the working group.
So I had collected interested parties and I thought it was time to actually 
start teaching.  I am second generation show, Mom was big into it when I was 
young, but never got her champions, and then again after I had my own kids, she 
started buying dogs trying to get her champion again.  In Eli and his mom, 
posthumously but nonetheless.  And I have a Seger half sister, now 8, old for 
her lines I am sorry to say.

But having looked at the breed for so long, and having read the standard as 
many 

times as I have I thought if no one else in town wants to teach I will.  And I 
do. Since I have worked as a "dog instructor" for 20 years now, I am very 
comfortable talking to groups and giving information. 


We had a great time, there were lots of great questions.  And while my one 
breeding feel apart in health, to big an issue to overcome, I got some great 
structure.  Liddy is an outcross, I bred to lines she did not carry closely, 
but 

still carried, and I got 3 types of dogs, but the male had lupus, so he is gone 
already, but the two bitches are so different they don't look like the same 
litter.

I have one extreme, very extreme bitch, who is also very very light, and one 
squarer, but well angulated bitch who is very athletic.  Hubby and I got to 
show 

both an easy mover that could get air to catch a frisbee, and one outstanding 
mover who can do little else, and really could have moved even better if life 
were different.  All are lazy house dogs now.

It was fun, I have plans for another class in January......
