Oooh, I'd love to do conformation. I desperately wanted to try out JR's with Giselle, but I quickly learned that even though you're supposed to be judged on your handling skills....that's not how it always works Flashy dogs with mediocre handlers do better than great handlers with poor dogs in the JR's ring, oftentimes. Sad....I was really getting into it....

Ah well, have fun gaiting, free-stacking, hand stacking, baiting, and I hope you snag a few Best of Breeds! Maybe BIS!

Remember....STUDY the standard like you can't live without it! I also recommend watching a few multiple BIS dogs in the rings. Study how they move and what 'tricks' their handlers use with them. It's a lot harder than it looks, but I absolutely adore it (if only I had a show Peke).
