missy unless ur relations a judge or u have his her dog ur only wasting ur time. get urself to the local shoot and do a bit off beating ull enjoy it more and if its ur first dog ull get a bit off advice on training and see how ur dog compares to others if u want a bit of chance in a trial. i know boys training dogs for years and still couldnt compete in a trial

Absolute rubbish. Talk to the Kennel Club and find your local clubs, then phone up the secretary of each club, tell them what you are doing and ask fo a membership form. We are a friendly lot and always welcome new members as you are the lifeblood of any working club. Go for it Missyand ignore the merchants of doom and gloom - they will never amount to anything anyway. Good luck

Being a women won't make any difference to how you get on.

 

Get your dog & yourself good enough and you have as much chance as anyone else.

 

If you've never even seen a test / trial (2 completely different things) then I suggest you get along & watch a few. You might decide it's not for you but at least you won't have wasted time & money joining clubs.

 

Good Luck
