And for your signature... Pinscher is spelled with an S!
I know AKC has a ton of rules, I've already decided if she doesn't do well in conformation I'm going to focus on obedience and agility. Cedar Rapids has an agility club, which is about 40 minutes from me, otherwise I don't know anywhere else that has the equipment. Of course I know I wouldn't be able to get involved with that till she's two.

It sounds a lot like horse shows, all about who you know, not how well you do or how well your dog conforms to standards. That's just ridiculous.


I didn't even notice I did that (signature)
