The bitch I'm training now came out of her shell real quick when I did this for a few days.

I can't wait to see this up comming litter!

Do you show in the midwest at all? IN, IL, TN, KY? I normally stick in these states. I'd love to meet you and your dogs some time.
Thanks! Kelsey is my baby! She (and her litter sister Paris) share the bed with me every night!! Dont know if you have ever seen a picture of Paris?? Just in case...lol here is Paris.

As far as Amy showing better.... the problem is, I can get her to show really well for me at home... so I'm just gonna have to take her out more places to get her used to "showing" somewhere else - I live out in the middle of no where and in the almost 2 1/2 yrs I've lived here have not been able to find any conformation classes in the general area.... but I think she will also be starting to go to shows with the handlers I know, a bit more often, just to hang out - not show - and get used to the dog show environment... just let her hang out in the expen at the shows and get used to everything.... she isn't nervous at shows, she just isn't in to it.... they said they were playing with her at the show, and tossing some bait to her which started to get her more interested in showing, and she started to pull her ears up on occassion... so just have to keep working on it.

Currently I don't get to go to shows all that often, unless they are within 3 or so hrs from here so that I can drive up and back.. as I don't have anyone else to help take care of dogs while I'm gone.... so the last couple years I've had to send my dogs out with handlers most of the time... but TN and KY I've shown at on occassion, while down here. I used to live in Ohio before I moved down here.. and I used to go to shows much more often to show my dogs myself... then I would show in OH, IN, KY, MI, PA.... TN and Ill... every once in a while...

What all breeds do you show???
