This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It does happen Julie. My stallion, Romulus, did not have a certificate when I bought him. At that time he had already sired several babies who had been registered. (Nice ones, I might add. :)) I doubt I would have realized he even needed one at all if Mike May had not mentioned that the deadline for getting him into the Herald was coming up ...and advised me that I needed BOTH to file a stallion breeding report for 2000 and get him a vet certificate. We did a rush job and got it done...but I would otherwise never have known. And, without a requirement, would probably not have done it because it was perfectly obvious to me that he had two large (Bob Van Bon would love them :)) and most definitely descended testicles, and that his bite was just fine.
So....it probably really would help to have this requirement in place, ala Carol's suggestion..just in case. Have not completely reviewed Carol's suggestions, but could not find problems with it when quickly reviewing. Will look at more carefully when I get a few things done around here that are being sorely neglected. Gail >Maybe it is "much ado about nothing".
