I have a rough collie from good lines although we bought her as a pet. Her siblings are successful show dogs and the breeder said we should show her. Crufts has inspired me a little bit, but I honestly am clueless.
Are there lower level shows we could aim for? Can it be done without massive commitment and spending a fortune? Or is it the kind of thing you need to join a club to do? Can a total novice turn out a dog properly? So many owners seem to use a professional to show their dogs. I've been showing horses on and off since 1990 but the dog showing world seems to be a completely different kettle of fish.
