[KPoos]

I have another question...Should I keep my poodle out of the shows for awhile until I feel she and I are more confident? Any suggestions? I just feel that I may be wasting my money on entering shows when I could be doing something else that would accomplish the same thing to socialize her.

If she's very young, you could do something that would build her confidence. I know cbrand trains in obedience and conformation with her puppies and they seem to do fine in the ring and don't get confused.
