K, here is my situation. NW regionals are on the 21st of March. I have never thought of showing boagie until the last few days. she will not point in conformation. Her tail Curls (this is her only flaw as far as i can see). but she has really come around on her obedience. We just graduated our basic class ( A+ if you can believe it), which is for all intense purposes Novice A. Considering she is not yet a year and bad behavior which is not down right agregious should be forgiven. so my questions is. Do i take her (curly tail and all) to regionals or do I wait for a fun match? If this was my horse i would go for experience but i have not shown a dog for 15 years so I am not sure of the attitude or politics. Oh, next question can I use a pinch collar in the show ring if I am schooling.. can I school at a regional show? Any help would be appreciated.
