Now that's a loaded question.

Um, how? I'm going to have my girl evaluated tomorrow when I sign her up for he first classes (confirmation and obedience) since the trainer for her 'class' is going to be there.

Good idea. One stickler point - these are conformation classes. One shows in conformation (with an O) to determine how well their dog conforms to a standard. This is one of those nit picky things that can determine whether some people will take you seriously or not.

I got pick of the litter by what my understanding of 'breed standard' is.

Okay, before I answer some of the questions earlier in the post, what things did you look for structurally?

I've been socializing her with people, places, noises and other dogs in hopes she will not reject another dog someday when I get one. I take her EVERYWHERE they'll let me take her in. I'm even considering DELTA for her she is SO good with EVERYONE.

EXCELLENT! The more she is exposed the more unflappable she'll be in the show ring.

Is there anything more I can do? She knows how to sit, lay and come up.

Bait, stack, give ears, expression, stand, gait, loose lead, paying attention

I have also dealt with the 'snobbitude' as I like to call it. I have emailed 2 local people with NO reply that are on the local corgi club. No I'm not giving up, now that the holidays are past, I'll be emailing AGAIN.

Persistence will help.

Okay, what advice or pointers did the breeder offer?
