Thanks everyone, Pedro is a wonderful happy dog who LOVES to show, he was three years old in July. We won four points from puppy class, and if I had sent him to a handler I know he would have finished as a puppy. I tell everyone the only thing you learn from using a handler is, "how to pay the bill!" (I have nothing against handlers or those who would rather use a handler, I have worked as an assitant and have several handler friends).But I wanted to LEARN about showing poodles and only hoped I could finish him. Pedro got a few more points in teenage years, but I pretty much pulled him after he hit a year old and just brought him out again this April. The highlight was he won a FOUR pt major also BOW against several big name handlers, this says even more about the dog, since I am just starting to learn about grooming, and lets not even talk about spraying up -- lol
PS My grooming skills can be compared to my computer skills, I only had a big picture because I wasn't sure how to resize it!! I do think I have figured out that one too --LOL
