Buck stacked (*2 pictures*)

Beautiful, and good work on getting pictures of a black dog that don't just look like an indistinct dark blob!

He's handsome no matter what. It would be great experience and practice and Buck would surely love some special time with you and hey he gets treats to so it's a win-win situation. Good luck Sarah and Buck. :)

Good luck to both of you!!

Plus, it's a fabulous learning experience and you really learn the ins and outs of handling without worrying about the actual quality of your dog. A beautiful dog with a mediocre handler is going to fail against a fabulous handler and a so-so dog. I think you and Buck would simply excel in Jr's. :) Might be an option if age isn't an issue.

You have the ages right! I know this because this is the year that Adrian gets to DO something, instead of WATCHING (he says this daily with the whine) :rolleyes:

I highly reccomend Jrs to any kids that are thinking they want to really move forward later on in life with showing dogs! It is great fun, less pressure and a wonderful way to make many friends and contacts that will last a lifetime!

I got curious as to what borziomom suggested I think is along these lines

Congrats! I bet you and your dog will do great:D And those are very beautiful pictures. Your dog sure knows how to pose:)

There's that handsome boy! I've told you already, but he really is the most handsome Lab I've ever seen. I love those thick ears of his. ;)
