Thank you both for your answers!!!

My kid is AKC reg and has had all of her shots. She is crate trained and if I bring her she will either be on lead or in the crate. She is working on socialization so probably will not bring her so that she will not be a distraction to anyone. She still gets that overall puppy excitement when she spies someone that she thinks she might be able to play with. But on lead she knows that she has to behave a bit better.

I have been to the AKC site and have copied the CGC requirements and they are hanging here on the wall next to my desk and leashes. I would like to see other dogs in action as I have not had the opportunity to go to any type of AKC event.

I think that I will plan on coming up on Sunday as Saturday is already full for me. I plan on bringing my camera, my ears and this new found enthusiasm for the breed.

My kid is priceless, she fits into the family of other dogs (2) that I have rescued in past years ( 14 YO and 4 YO mixed breeds). I would like to hang out with other people who love the breed as much as I am beginning to.

Thanks so much for your time.
