i've actually only been to one show so far and from what my boss and trainer told me, that show was a joke. But it was fairly easy. Just be sure to memorize your pattern and shake the judges hand before you start, lol. I was pretty pleased, my trainer said that the judge we had was a pretty tough judge and he gave me a good rating, :)
my boss breeds gsds so it's mostly them (landheim kennels in dyer IN if you're curious, lol) I prefer dobes myself. I have a pet quality dobe i show in akc obedience and rally and i hope that someday when i have more time to import a dobe puppy to show in Schutzhund but thats way in the future. Rotties are awesome too! one of our clients does Schutzhund with her two
sorry for the late response, havn't been on here in a long time! but yes i do schutzhund. The female in my profile pic got her BH a couple weeks ago :) i train GS for my boss and title them for him
Not many suggestions, but swords might not adjust quite well, so if you find that any leaves are begging to die, just nix those leaves, as they dont really come back to life.
To be honest, the one light is fine. I personally find (when theyre larger sized/taller), they dont need to have such high light.
Have you ever ordered from AZ gardens in oro valley near Tucson? They seem like a really organized place. Their website really impressed me. I will have to take a look at your suggestions.
