Eeeeee! =d Can't Wait! Wish Me Luck!

EEEEE! LOL! I'm SO happy right now! You guys will NEVER guess what just happened to me! I am literally bouncing off the walls. I AM GOING TO BE A JUNIOR HANDLER! So here's how the night goes....

I was calling around to different breeders, GSDs, Akitas, Schauzers, etc. And NOBODY is doing or looking into doing Junior handling. I really want to get into it, because I hope to be in the show ring in the near future, so why not start early? Looking at our area's kennel club for breeders nearby, I type out the names, print off the list and start calling. I reached a lady at a place called MooseLake Reg'd at she told me that.....

she would be VERY interested into starting Junior Handling, and I sounded like a girl who is very educated and knows her stuff in the "Dog Category"! :D I felt so flattered. She is looking into it right now and is going to call me back later tonight or if not then tomorrow. I'm so anxious!

Wish me luck that she wants to start and will take me, and that all goes well and such! Can anybody guess the breed that I might be handling by the colour of writing, I'm writing in? ;)

Wow, good luck!!
When you start handling will we be seeing pics of the dogs??
As for the dog, I have no clue..

Thanks Megan!

Of course you guys will be seeing pics of the dogs! Why wouldn't I? LOL!

Can't wait until I hear back from her. Also, if I could get tips from all those other handlers out there, it would be appreciated!

AGHHH!!! CONGRATS! My parents have JUST NOW stopped telling me not to talk about it when I try to explain all it involves, and when I told them the best jr. handler in the state gets a $1000 scholorship they said maybe I can contact one of the Am Staff breeders in our area, there are about three.
And as for colors, is it a GSD? I love them!

LOL Eva! :p My parents said it'll give me something to do around the dogs I love!

Nope, its none of the breeds listed. The breed comes in these 3 colours. :) Its very popular and is used WIDELY amoung people who have disabilities and such. That just gave it away!

That would be so amazing to Handle Staffies! We don't have any in our area...NO KIDDING, its banned! :rolleyes: I haven't looked into prizes though!

Hey! Good luck! How cool for you. Have fun!

Good luck! :)

also what breed are you going to be handling? :)

And labs are a great breed to start showing!! :) Please let us (me!) know when you hear back from her!

Awesome! that sounds like it would be so much fun! You know I love labs! :)

Looks like a great place and they know what they are doing. You sure could learn a lot from them. Good luck.

I'm so excited for you! Labs are so awesome. I soo can't wait to see pictures.

Wow. This dog is almost identical to Major. (Cami). And Major is half-golden retriever!!!

Edit.

I SWEAR. THESE PEOPLE HAVE STOLEN MY DOG.

Ok, I just can't stop. That dog, especially in the second picture, is a carbon copy of Major. She looks EXACTLY the same. I could fool anyone by telling them it was Major. If I didn't know Major was half golden, I'd say he was purebred lab. I can only see slight differences.

Good luck! What happened with that husky (mix?) puppy you were going to adopt?

Congrats!:)
I'm wondering too what happened to the Husky pup?

Good luck with everything Paula.:)

Good luck - hope it all works out really well for you :D

good luck! :)

Thanks everybody!

I'm hoping she'll call me today with good news. I'll be working with my sister but I'll check my messages as soon as I go home!

Kato, was not able to join us as we called, left them a message and they never got back to us about when to make an appointment. So we went in that day, only to hear that he was being picked up in 4 days. :(

Oh gosh, that IS exciting news Paula!!!:D That's just awesome, and labs are great to work with!!!;) Has the breeder called back yet??;) I hope everything works out, it sounds like such a great opportunity!!:)

That sounds wonderful, Paula. We will keep our fingers and paws crossed for you here.

Oh my gosh that is so exciting! I'm wishing for only the best for you!
