Go out and get your conformation dog, breed some litters and come back in 10 years and tell us about all your champions that you got by just running around the ring. Tell us how easy it is. I just love it when someone that hasn't done anything yet in the conformation ring knows more then those of us that have been doing it for many years. It takes lots of planning, lots of hard work, lots of heartache and then a little luck to produce that great dog. Put your money where your mouth is. Ann PS. My first four champions got their CD in a total of 10 shows with high scores. Piece of cake. Then I ran out of time and had to make a choice.

Don't get me wrong, I love conformation...I'm looking forward to getting my first conformation dog. But running around a ring isn't work. It's just...running. This is just my opinion of course. - Jackie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
