Conformation show-and-go. Yep, I'll be wearing slacks and a REALLY nice short sleeve shirt. But we do have an "actual" show in September. I have one class in conformation and one in Rally-O.
And then there's an Obedience show coming up in October.

I'll bet your dog is proud to have trained you to that fine a degree as to make taking you to such an event worth while.

Haha, CS. You just made my day. I actually HATE dressing up, so yes, she trained me well.

So, how did it go? I used to show, too, although I liked obedience more than conformation. When my husband and I got sighthounds, my showing days ended. By then, I was having trouble with arthritis and couldn't run with the hounds in conformation. Obedience is iffy with sighthounds. They lack a certain I hear and obey mindset. Their attitude tends to be Let's negotiate -- make it worth my time to do what you say.

Nice! When I retire from the Army, in entirely too many years, my wife and I are thinking of retiring to some place no one has ever heard of with lots of land and getting cattle of some kind. I wouldn't mind getting big cats... but my luck would have me eaten by one when I forget to clean the extra large litter pan one day. Just retire to Risa . Doesn't that look wonderful. There's a resort there with lots of wonderful stuff.

I'm still alive I promise. I've been writing, reading, working, trainin' and livin'. I had a Dog show earlier in September and placed 2nd in Rally Obedience. We beat out four other dogs. Needless to say, I was shocked. I only took her for the experience. I've finally gotten my lazy rearend into gear and catalogued my books. Metalikhan, that's how Onyx is. She has a "make me" attitude. Although, we just had our first agility lesson the other day and she did wonderfully. She was having fun,

Nice! As soon as they have a disobedience category, I'm entering all my dogs...
