I did use my mentor's stud once. It was for pick of the litter...there was only one female in that litter, "Tahlulah". My mentor knew how much I loved her....she opted out for one in my next litter.....next litter only produced one female......a friend of mine had been wanting a female from my female for a long while. At a dog show my friend approached my mentor for the female (mind you the lil girl was still in my home). As I was coming out of the ring my mentor said to me, let Beth have the lil girl. I did and turned over the money to my mentor. She also took the litter brother. Both are now pets and are very loved and pampered.
