I found that my ambitions changed as things got better. Having got a 3rd at an Open, I aimed for a 1st. Then I tried Champ shows and just to get a card was a thrill. Then, a red card... then a card from every UK show.... (it took more than a year
) got as far as a place at Crufts and a Reserve CC then emigrated! I now have 7 BIS Veteran prizes (for the same bitch that got 3rd years ago at her first show) 2 Green Stars (one major) and about a dozen Reserve Green Stars with the boys, since June this year. I may never have a Champion but I intend to have a lot of fun trying! Whichever stage I am at, it is a fantastic day when I achieved the "next" ambition. I think that is what keeps many of us going
I think it could grow on me and I must say, that yes.. you want more But I also know Luna has some faults, that does we'll never make to the "top", but that's okay.. As I know this, I wont be disappointed when she's passed by.. And at the end of the day, she's MY beautiful girl, no matter what others say. And these shows with Luna could get ME in training for the next dog Thank you SB and Christine
We had a great time

Yes I have heard of situations, where people are forgetting about the dog and only care about winning.
I got Luna first and foremost (spelleing?) as a companion. And now we have discovered new fun things we can do together.. With an emphasis on FUN.. I liked it, but I hope I never turn out to be one of the "bad" ones.. And if I do, I hope someone will stop me.
We now do obedience, agility and show
This is fun things, where we are together...Thank you Sheena and Zantababy, yes we had fun

every dog in the ring as some type of fault some where it just if the judge picks up on it.
you did really well and luna did you proud even if it isn't a champ show etc.
the methods are the same what ever type of show you enter.
try and relax more in the ring its no big deal you are there to enjoy the day placed or not.
she is a beautiful girl what ever the judges think.
its a shame more people in the show world dont see it your way.
well done j and luna you did great!
