Nishasmom, my 2 cents worth is, go ahead and have her evaluated, if she shows promise, go for it. I started training Blitz when she was 2 1/2. I'd had her evaluated at a much younger age but wasn't happy with the club I'd stumbled in to and decided to do other things. I went ahead and did many things with her that weren't in line with raising a SchH prospect, but I thought I wasn't going to be doing it, so... All the agility stuff was very helpful-Joel Monroe, our helper, and Lucy Ang both said she was the easiest dog they'd ever trained to do the SchH1 blind search. All the young age obedience stuff I did with her was detrimental. Guess what I'm yammering on trying to say is...if you think you might want to give SchH a try, whatever sort of "control" stuff you're doing with her, stop, and concentrate on basic house manners. Due to the above mentioned obedience we did, we came upon some stumbling blocks in our SchH training. However, with diligence and a great helper, we're working thru them. My dog is not hard, has lots of prey drive but not alot of fight, will never compete at a National level, but is having a ton of fun. So am I, not to mentioning learning alot that will be beneficial to the next dog I train. Let us know how the eval goes!

You girl also sounds like she'd be a great agility prospect...small and quick!
