Hi Kelsey...welcome to the group

Hi everyone! I'm Kelsey- I show Border Collies and a very goofy Gordon Setter. My current show dogs are Sadie (AKC/UKC/Intl. Ch Omegan's Make Me an Angel), Pirate (AKC/UKC/Intl. Ch Omegan's Fire the Cannons) and Giacomo *the Gorgeous Gordon* (Intl. Ch Sastya Amberlove Cafe Verona).

I owner-handle all of my dogs.. and hopefully by this time next year I will have my first bred-by dog.

Doglady, Thank you. I wish I would have been this interested in learning when I was in school (years ago) All I seem to do Is read, take notes, and study. LOL ! Now the field trips start.
I do have a mentor, but she is about 4 hours from me and does a lot of her showing in Canada. She loves the sables, but due to dispute within ASC the color isn't shown in the USA, It used to be , but politics got in the way. Hopefully the color will be allowed again, it is beautiful. She is where i got both of my red/white cockers.
I know of another breeder a little closer and will see if there are any matches or shows a little closer. My 19 year old daughter is going to be learning with me and will probably do most of the showing.
thank you.

Hi Melissa....welcome to the group. If you click on the last page I have some links to various articles on showing and training if your interested. Good luck in showing

Hi , I am new to this group and the forum. I have 2 cocker spaniels (american) and am learning all I can about shhowing. I hope to get started within a year. I am Currently attending shows locally .(as a spectator) melissa

Sorry I haven't been around much. Work has kept me busy and I still have dial-up which takes me forever to get on here. Congrats to everyone! Best wishes to the year to come. Our first show will be the end of January.

I still don't have my picture of the 5 pt major with my puppy. but i did upload some of my other pictures....okay lol a lot!

Major Win in Dixon! Proof:



Judge has some very nice things to day about Willie. Of course, I got a smack-down and third place the next day, but third out of thirteen very nice dogs is still pretty good!
