"I just wanted to thank you both for probably one of the most valuable seminars I have ever had the pleasure to attend. I will be recommending this seminar to everyone I talk to and if given the opportunity, will definitely attend again. I know that there are a few things that really hit home and I will remember them, but there are a lot more that went right over my head. I can see your book becoming my structural "bible" and look forward to reading it!
Best wishes to both of you for your future success and health/happiness! I hope we shall meet again!"
"And thanks to both of you for bringing your seminar to us. It was a most enjoyable time and I am so happy to have learned so much in a short amount of time. Also I want to thank you Ed for going over Rookie a second time. I just don't get to see that many flat-coats, and am brand new to the breed and world of conformation. I am really happy with the way he turned out, however I am biased, and I was curious what his potential faults were. I was pretty happy that before I brought him back in the second time I was looking at his length of loin and wondering if it might be a bit long, lo and behold that was a comment you made! The shows that he was at there was very little competition so I was having a hard time knowing if he was really quality or just better than what was there. Going to my national specialty in June really helped. He was in a fairly small class in comparison to the others, however he won both sweeps and his puppy class. I also got several comments on him being a nice dog. Up until this point I was at the stage where I know what I like to look at it, but didn't really know why. You both helped me to start to understand the why, grant it I have to gain a lot more experience but I'm headed in the right direction. Once again thank you very much and I hope to cross paths with you again some day. Oh and Pat if you do a groomers seminar I am there!!!
"I appreciated finally having someone explain canine anatomy that I could “get.” I love all the examples across breeds. Being in a technical field of work I really understand Ed’s breakdowns."
"A lot of information for me ( as a novice) hopefully will sink in! It was nice to hear the stories and Pat & Ed show me their love for dogs in general and what should be expected of me as a handler."
"It was very helpful to get my hands on dogs to feel what was discussed about angulation, ribs, etc."
"I enjoyed learning your knowledge regarding dog anatomy and what to look for. Excellent graphics."
"Excellent presentation. I feel I learned a lot. Enjoyed your sharing – you two are a wealth of valuable information."
