Well I'd offer my time and help if Madlee would like to learn the basics in everything from handling a dog, going to trials, the right muzzle sizes, how tight the collar should be on the dogs' necks, how their weight should be, feeding, care of the pups and broods etc etc

Don't know about the distance thing though, I live about 4 half hours west of Melbourne, actually about 2 half hours from Ballarat.

PM me, Madlee, if you're interested.

cheers
