Peggy I don't know how you do it but you put into one post what it would take me a week to write VBG I totally agree with you and unfortunately from what I hear this being copied by breeders here in the UK. Someone asked me why I was complaining that my repeat mating was again three bitches - so what? I wanted a dog to show and replace Able Edward not more bitches as potential breeding machines!!
