Hi UntamedFriesian ! I see your new here! Welcome!
Purebred dogs! Wow! How did you ever get into that? How many dogs do you have? What kind of breed do you show? Can you post some pictures of them?
I know...lots of questions! But thats very interesting to me. I used to own a Silky Terrior. She was a purebred. Beautiful dog! I ended up giving her to a couple that could afford to train her and show her. I figured I wasn't doing her any justice by making her a house pet!
Thanks for posting!

Hi Geri
Thanks for the Welcome! I show mostly in the Herding, Working and Toy groups. I handle other peoples dogs in other groups too! It's a strange "hobby" but it works for me. I have 6 dogs of my own. Belgian Tervurens, Great Pyrenees and Havanese. I got into showing when I was looking to buy my first Belgian Tevuren. I actually found a breeder near my place and went out to meet her and the puppies she had at the time. She had sold all the pups but told me if I would agree to show the dog when it was old enough she would bump one of the other people and let me have the pup so I said sure! That's how it started, I got hooked and love it! Prior to showing, I have been doing obedience, agility, therapy, and search and rescue with various dogs that I have owned. I still do all that and show plus I get to meet a lot of interesting people. I tried to post some pictures with my first response to you but something happened and the pictures and the post didn't go through. I am extremely technologically challenged !!!!! I haven't figured out how to get one of those smiley cowboy faces into a post yet!!

Wow! I might have to go on the web to look up some of these breeds! Never heard of them! But I am sure I would recognize them if i seen a picture! It really does sound like a great way to travel and meet new people! I watched a funny, funny, movie once. I think it was called "The best in show" It was about these dog shows! It was hilarious!
Have you tried using photobucket for your pics? It's easy to download pictures from there..
Are you attending the H H Backers Spring pet trade show in March? It's in Atlantic City . At the Atlantic City convention center. It's one of the largest pet retailer shows in the world. There's all sorts of new products and dogs and cats all over the place. I was invited to attend this year. I think it will be fun. Besides how can you go wrong going to Atlantic City for a weekend!
UntamedFriesian:
Atlantic city for the weekend, that would be tempting but I believe I will be in Chatham Ontario during that time for a show or it might be Indiana, can't remember which one comes first.
Never heard of "photobucket" before guess it is something I will have to look into. I found the "attach" option under the "additional Options" button so when I get home from work maybe I can try that and see if it works.
UntamedFriesian:
Lunch break -- will try to use this computer at work to post some pics
if it works, this would be my Great Pyrenees at a show up in Leamington, Ontario this past Sept.
