We were talking today about how long we would be able to "have a go" at showing and the knock on affect to daughter doing Junior Handling classes.
Heidi will be out of puppy classes at the end of October and we will enter her in the next available class in order for Meg to do her handling, but what is the average age that dogs tend to be shown in the open classes (pre coming back for veterans)?
We did not buy Heidi with a view to show but have been bitten by the showing bug a tad; one persons view last week was that "well if they don't make the grade OR you need a better model, you just rehome one that you have" just ain't going to happen because first and foremost they are all part of the family
So other than the fact that she might never win a class unless no-one else shows up, how long could we theoretically continue to do the Open shows?
