When someone asks to use your dog, and they are a well known respected part of your breed and you are a bit of a newbie.Thoughts appreciated :)

Why do you want to turn them down?
Once you've established that you can explain your reasons.

i my try delete this as i have a better way to askthis!

Is this tying in with your other thread? Sorry, have to admit that I just typed a reply to that and then thought 'awww, I can't be bothered' and deleted it :( So sorry ... I'm sure (I know ;) ) others do the same. Feel really bad now :(

OK, now seen you've posted another, similar related, thread ... are they all linked? Assuming this isn't hypothetical any more?
