I have to second what 10Pups has said.
And he speaks the truth,
Larry at whippedog is good bet and will take the time to communicate with you.
10Pups also hit on that you may be close to someone which is a great point,
you could also PM a senior member, moderator, or mentor here and have many questions answered via a phone call.
There is a bit more to this sport than one may realize and I will say good for you for doing a bit of leg work first.

Pat
