I'm 48 years old, and started my sales career at 17 as a waitress. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The best gossip I've heard yet about Joliet Schutzhund is something I heard at training today, about 3rd for 4th hand.

A trainer that Dave Blank really respects in Chicago (but doesn't see very often) said of Joliet Schutzhund, to one of our participants, "a bunch of women train there."

YEAH!! We are being TALKED about!! Women, Men, Kids, Families, they all train here. There aren't enough smilies on the internet to describe my excitement about our GOSSIP RELATED PRESS!!

My next training group message might just encourage the Ladies Of Joliet Schutzhund to don their hot pants and halter tops and Let's Go Kick Some Booty!!

<img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> We're havin' fun now. I'm smiling over the men that I hope are gaining an interest in what we're doing here. That piece of gossip had me in serious stitches! <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You know there really seems to be alot of women in schutzhund in northern Illinois... too bad they all seem to be twice my age.

Schutzhund is such a boys club where I live. By 9pm when the real stuff begins, I'm usually the only chick left. They get a real kick out of me though, I'm kind of like the entertainment of the night. Donning my NEW scratch pants and saying "please please let me catch a dog, I swear I wont fall down" ..................

Good to know women are getting respect in other parts of the country. Please send some of it my way !

LMAO - The only guy in our little training club/group is the helper who is the husband of one of the women. Between three women and two girls (ages 10 and 12) we have 3 SchH 3's, 3 SchH 2's, a SchH A and numerous High in Trials, Protection, Obedience, and Tracking. Not bad for a bunch of women <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
