Default Ways to show appreciation to your mentors

So, I have been receiving ALOT of great help from my breeder and other local poodle folks - I would love suggestions on how I can show appreciation to all of these great folks.

There isn't a breeder in the world that wouldn't like titles for their dogs.

CGN, Rally, Agility, Lure Coursing, That Silly Sport Where the Dogs Jump the Farthest Off a Dock . . . lots of different Sports and Titles for dogs.

Breeders kind'a like that! lol

In a shorter time frame, I give my trainers, groomers, and doggie people t-shirts or something appropriately "poodle-ly" or "doggie" that I find online.

Learn and learn well.

Also, in most every ad or every post I thank my Mentor Extroidinaire, Michele!

Both Annie and B and Lombardi have done amazingly well in a very tough AKC world. I have my mentor to thank for not only helping train and present my animals, but also training and presenting me.

She's not too big on letting me buy, but I do sneak in gifts here and there. A great dog bed or an awesome throw...

What makes her happiest though, is when we win!

What a perfect time for me to read this post!

I just bought a card and wrote a letter to let my breeder know that because of all of her work and breeding standards, I have a new best friend. Not only that, but the pup has changed my thoughts on a lot of things and my life in many ways. I want to know what it has meant to me to have one of her pups :-)
