ARE WE THERE YET. Call name Patience

I have shown dogs for as long as I can remember. I show in Sydney most of the time buit do go interstate for Specialities and Royals.I cannot say that I have ever had anybody be rude to me (except for other exhibitors in my breed). I must say I do find some people have very bad timing in as much as they come up to you and ask lots of questions they expect you to know all the answers to, while you are very busy organising your own dogs or are about to go into the ring. Maybe when people reply to their questions in a bit of a hurry they feel they are being rude. Some of us have spent a lot of time getting our dogs ready to show (I own a very groomed breed) and really do not have the time at that moment to spare. We sit at our ring with a lot people who own other breeds in our group and I cannot think of a time when there has been any bad feelings. We all say hello when we arrive. We congratulate whoever wins that day and then say see you next week. I do not say we are all good friends who see each other outside of shows, but we do see each other most weeks and we do try to help newcomers (if they make themselves know to us). The dog world needs new blood if it is to continue.

Imported my 3rd dog from Canada/America. He arrived in quarantine just before the prices rose last year To land him here with cost of dog, shots, tests, quarantine and all the other things there was no change from $15000.00. It is a costly exercise. But then again if you want quality that is bred from Tested stock you will pay for it
