Hey everyone!
Well Colonel Mustard is officially one year old and packing on some extra pounds now that the snow and cold weather is here!
Recently (since is slight weight gain of 4 whole pounds) we have been getting more and more comments and people starting conversations with us about showing him. It's not something we have ever really considered but kind of always had it in the back of our minds.
We started doing research online over the holiday weekend (with all of our wonderful free time hanging out at home in our PJ's!) and to me it seems like there is SO MUCH to take in, but then, not really all at the same time!
I would love some insight from anyone that shows, how did you get started? What are things you wish you could tell your past self about showing your dog? Lessons Learned? Costs associated with showing? We would like to actually go to a couple shows first to scope out the scene, but don't even know where to begin there! Is it free to watch? Is a good resource simply googling "Dog shows" and my zip code?
Thanks so much everyone! Wish us luck!
