This message is from: CHERYL GARNICA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Valerie Point well taken about the horses history with registration. Mostly trying to see the benefits of NFHR dual registry with the CFHA since already Canadian registered. Will probably do it in time even though not planning to show. Then I could get the sought after "Herald" everyone keeps asking about!! Cheryl in S. Cal

The new pet owners want to know why they have to pay the fee to have him registered. I do the vet work, registering, and they pay only for that. The reason is it is the dog's heritage. This dog has been carefully bred, raised and belongs to a certain line, and I would like for him to go through life with his history intact. Possibly he will seem more valuable to someone down the line with this "provenance." Also, if he is registered, he is eligible for agility and obedience competition, as a horse would be able to enter breed specific shows. You never know what is down the road for an animal. Thank you also to people who responded to my trail bridle inquiry. I think I will get one. Valerie
