Its a good discussion and full of nuggets of knowledge and experiences of the experienced, and not-so experienced. I found it very helpful that when we went to the shows, while waiting to go in and afterwards, we would have our mentors ask us what we saw in the ring. This usually fueled a discussion and it brought out some very fine points, that otherwise would have been missed. Not to be mean or speaking negatively, but to make note of the attributes that best lined up with the standards. Somedays we agreed, others not, but for the most part, we always came away with valuable information, and insight. Keep it up guys, we're just getting started!
Perserverance isn't a long race.
It's a series of short races,
ran one after the other.
