This little girl will start her show career this year.  She has completed her obedience class, and we're practicing in some handling classes for her to get used to the show ring atmosphere.  She has exceptional movement.  I had taken Dandy along with me to one of my puppy evaluations with Pat Hastings, well-known AKC Judge for BIS and Herding Group, among others.  Pat was very encouraging about getting her in the show ring.  She gave her high points on her conformation and thought that she should do very well.
