Peggy,
You are getting a lot of good advice.  But I wanted to chime in here and
agree with Diana Brown, that you should think carefully about an association
with someone using guilt, obligation, ought, and should logic on you. In my
experience my relationships with people who attempt to manipulate me using
these tactics, usually get even worse.
Another idea.  Many of the experienced people on the list have written about
late blooming pyrs in conformation.  It could be in few years, that one of
your children will want to show Shadow.  Although he is gorgeous now, he may
be even better looking then, when the family is interested in it.
Still it must be flattering for experts to want to be associated with you
and Shadow.  (I do know his heritage, so it is no wonder that they want to
invest their time and energy.)  So if you decide to do it, let us know what
it is like  and who you meet and stuff.

I might question any interaction at all with folks who use those methods.  I
am sure there is a training center in your town that feels it is there to
*help* students, not force them down a mandatory path whether it is
appropriate for them or not...
