D has never shown a dog. The husky I saw him training on the videos the other night he was working to get ready to show and he entered her in some fun matches. Not real judges and no points on the dog. She ended up in the last one he had her in apparently running circles around the ring!! Embarrassed D so bad he never tried to do anything else with her and at this point in time I don't think he will ever try again to show a dog.
He wasn't even sure he would try to show Frostbyte when I gave him to him, he was just going to train him.
It would surprise me greatly for him to show a dog. What he did when I met him was go to the club, hold people's extra dogs, call commands for people doing a run thru and critique them if they wanted, and just sit by J and visit with people. He has assisted with teaching classes but at the time I met him he wasn't. He may be doing so now as I see J is teaching some classes again.
As far as I am aware his current participation in the dog scene is to be J's pack mule. She shows and he hauls her Cr*p in and out for her.
