LOL<BR/><BR/>Let me know if you're going to the KCC handling classes. I'm thinking of it for more experience with Hope in that setting rather than using the shows as training grounds but didn't have the contact details.<BR/><BR/>Glad Kinta is having such a blast at this agility thing! If I recall Cade and Sierra had a point like that in early classes where she went a bit dizzy with other people's clickers but they figure it out eventually! Hope was just born savy. LOL<BR/><BR/>Reserve isn't so bad, she's still a young girl and maturing as you say! (This is my mantra with Hope's chest dropping!) I know "lotsa bone and a bit more" (and coat, which adds to the illusion) is a bit of an in thing atm but fads and fashions come and go yk? It's more benefit to the breed to show and breed for dogs to the Standard (which is for a moderate, balanced dog who is agile, fast and efficient with great endurance) rather than breed/show to the fad. The other thing is this is a breed that has historically had many different styles since many of the bloodlines developed seperately and in relative isolation, so even within the standard I think you see different "looks" so to speak which boil down to personal preference/intrepretation. Every dog has room for improvement too - so even if for the sake of arguement she ends up too fine boned, then it's simply part of what you look for and take into account when you breed... much as we think they're perfect the rest of the time, when it comes to a breeding program we have to be unsentimental about their strengths and weakness if we hope to improve them yk?<BR/><BR/>But switching breeds... *gasps* you TRAITOR! ;-p ;-p ;-p ;-p<BR/><BR/>Oh and you're welcome over here anytime! If you know where Ben & Ana are, we're a 2 minute drive from them. Be forwarned though, I'll wrangle you into helping with socializing!!! For Leo and Kinta's sakes though, if they want to come along, you may want to wait until she's out of heat... otherwise they're likely to be engaged in the group-lovefests going on here. :rolls eyes:Amanda O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14354505077377521450noreply@blogger.com
