She's meant to be quite something from what I understand - the only person to achieve the same accolade in Junior and Adult handling.

It's not normally an area I would be dipping into, but I went under her judging a couple of weeks ago and was surprised how young she was, so did a bit of research on her.

She was lovely with the dogs and the exhibitors, a very pleasant lady who clearly has a lot of experience and talent.

Good luck to your nephew - I love to see the youngsters in the ring, and it really gives them an interest that gets them out and about something quite rare for more than a few of today's young people

Thanks - I brought him the dvd and gave it to him at Christmas. I watched it with him and although it is aimed at Juniors I must admit I learnt a few things as well. On the dvd each point is illustrated through the use of some junior handlers which helps you to understand better than in a book as you have a real idea of what is expected of the handler.

I thought you would find it useful, lol! Glad you liked it!

Well I told all the girls to pay attention as well, but Ruby decided to bark at one of the fluffy dogs instead of watching what she should be doing!
