Thanks again everybody
still floating at the moment I don't think even best in show would have felt any better
The grooming is a lot of trial and error, Susan (Daftcockers) is a great help, I have also found a chap that shows who will show trim so Abby has been to him once, and from there I have kept it up myself
but he saw her on Sunday and suggested another visit before christmas
There are also a couple of breeders who go to the same ringcraft and one of them has offered to give me some lessons
I am still really nervous when it comes to using scissors but we have got the hang of using the hairdryer
The confusing think is that everybody has a different way of stripping
some pull the ends and some pull from the roots? not sure what is right and it is probably just a case of finding what suits me best
One thing I will say it is a very time consuming hobby
if I am not at a show I am at training if I am not training I am grooming.
Michelle
