Thanks for all the information, I think Maisie's show days are over but I was curious as to the preparation necessary. Her new pastime is gardening she follows me around everywhere to supervise my work. I will adopt the more firm approach when next the comb comes out. Actually I think her first love is hunting, as I type she is pawing at the window wanting to go out in the dark I hope she gets the message that this is never going to happen.
