Actually, I have finally found a way to do conformation with my mutt! 4H! They have you do weird patterns like Bs and triangles and Ps and Ls (which I like) as well as the normal down and back, and they judge only the way the handler deals with and interacts with the dog. They also ask you questions about dogs and caring for dogs. I plan on starting for the 2005- 2006 4H year.
