I asked for a working dog that I could perhaps show. I will be working him in obedience, agility, rally, tracking and herding (if I can find someone way up here). I also have a 5 year old spayed female that is Novice titled in CKC obedience, agility, tracking and in CARO Rally-O. I had attended the last two Canadian Nationals and got the bug to show but my primary request of my breeder was for a healthy puppy. My 5 year old has EPI, arthritis and spondylosis so I wanted this one to be 'relatively' problem free. I figure I can spend the next couple of years learning the show ropes and on the way I'll find the breeder that will share the next 'great' dog with me. Thank you all for your quick response. I'm in Northern Ontario, Canada and am a member of our local Kennel Club, the GSDCC, the CKC, the AAC, and CARO. We have 2 local all breed shows here per year but the GSD entries are always very low. I'm quite active in the performance side of the equation and really wanted to round it off by learning the conformation side. Again, thank you for all your responses, I'll be lurking on the side. Mary-Anne You need to be a member of the GSDCA. Here is a link http://www.gsdca.org/ Sorry about your pup. How old is he and did the breeder guarantee him?

It is a response to an action where by the person making the complaint feels that something negative/biased/unfair happened to them. An opinion is someones belief. It is neither negative nor positive. However, the person who is on the receiving end of a complaint, will always feel the complaint is negative. AN opinion, can be helpful or hurtful. And this entire explanation is my opinion. Some might find it negative and others might find it positive. Others will have no opinion on the subject of this email Zoe ------------------------------ Msg: #4 in digest From: "Paula Cooke" <psharp212@xxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Entries per City Date: Wed, 01 Nov 2006 20:27:46 -0800 We have a fairgrounds in Riverside???

Joan is working on less expensive locations. Every national has had problems, but also great advantages. The board keeps working on them, and we will keep on attending, complaining, getting sick, and having a great time.
