Wish me luck.....

I know there are plenty of people who show and handle on here and I don't normally make a big deal of these things, but I haven't been in the showring competitively since I was about 16

and the last time one of our animals was out she was 5th of five in novice bitch

I have two to take in at a championship show tomorrow (so far....), one in puppy dog and one in junior bitch.

So, here's hoping I won't trip, let any dogs go, stand on anyone, swear too loudly in front of the judge and that my shin splints don't make a reappearance (as they are threatening to...)

Will try and get some nice pics of the day to demonstrate that show GSDs are not all crippled and deformed

, although on my old camera and my own lovely dog decided to deposit my good one in a stream today (see post in SB

)

I would generally say break a leg but in the spirit of not encouraging shin splints to returrn - GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Why thankyou! Sometimes I wished I handled 'normal' dogs - gait in a small triangle, not protracted laps of a big ring

 

[Spudlet]

I may have the answer to your problem there - roller skates.


Yes, I know - I'm a genius

Wait, where are you going?

 

[CorvusCorax]

I can flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

PMSL

Everyone's a critic

Surprised no one has thought of roller skates

Enjoy your day CC, though think you are a bit of a turncoat getting back in the ring again

Who are the judges?

 

[CorvusCorax]

Just the one, it's Fetten. I hear he likes to run them lots

 

[CorvusCorax]

I think rollerblades would be better than skates, they could take the corners better....

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Good luck! That's something I've always wanted to do but just cannot find the courage (and would have no idea where to start anyway).

Looking forward to seeing the pictures

 

[CorvusCorax]

Thanks

Although GSD showing is a law unto itself - other breeds tend to do it in a quiet, slower, more dignified fashion

Good luck

Hope it all goes well, and do remember we dont think that show GSDs are crippled and deformed - they just have dodgy toplines

 

[CorvusCorax]

Thanks you guys...Splotchy, I happen to think the lovely young chap who is going to WIN puppy dog, best puppy dog and best puppy (PLEASE!!!!) has an awesome topline, he retains it really well in movement, not exaggerated at all, I think even you would like him

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Piccies

We need piccies

He sounds fab in that case

And OF COURSE he is going to win

 

[CorvusCorax]

I will, and thanks again!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

[CorvusCorax]

Haha, thanks, so do I!!!!
