 As with any recipe, you need that first ingredient.
Finding a Field Spaniel that met my criteria was a challenge, but I think I have come darn close. It's been quite a few years since I have shown a dog, my self confidence level is almost non existent, I find myself almost shaking at the ringside, looking for a handler at the last minute because I can't possibly walk through those ring ropes.
Thank goodness for the support of friends. I have been lectured, pumped and chastised...all with the purpose of getting me in the ring again. The breed of my choosing is a funny one...they are far more dependent on their people then GWP's ever were. I can get him to walk into a stack and show his heart out for me, even though I would be really appreciative if he would do that for someone else!
So, I am once again purchasing clothing for shows, having pockets installed, running up and down hallways at the local mall trying out shoes......and trying to screw up my courage to special another dog.
Here we go ladies and gentlemen, get out your tickets, this will surely be an E ticket ride.
