I'll go on record as stating when I first started observing dog shows I
thought you were SUPPOSED to use all the junk that was flying through the
air at the grooming areas! LOL--As I started to show I read everything I
could, including the rules. I love the challange of competing against
"trussed up" beauties and professional handlers. This whole first year has
been a blast and although we don't win alot I love my tri so much and am
learning at an incredible rate.
The difference is : I don't have to learn how to cheat and that saves
room in my brain for important stuff<G> Linda Ski
