As a relative newcomer, I am thankful to anyone who gives me advice and guidance at shows.
Today, I appreciate that two separate breeders from the club to which I belong pointed out an error on my part that impacted how my little guy was presented in the ring. I can't see myself in there - so I'm appreciative to those who share their observations. I can't improve without feedback, after all.
On the flip side, it's sort of a bummer to think I'm my dog's biggest fault. Clearly a professional handler would not make my beginner mistakes.
Of course, Preston does not really care one way or another. He's currently sound asleep at my feet, where he would be win or lose :) And I have tomorrow to put their advice into action.
Today was a good day - because I learned something. Sometimes it's not always about the purple and gold!
