This has been the best thread yet!! Very imformative for the experienced and the novice! As, I don't breed much Lorraine couldn't have said it any better than she has!!! I, myself, would rather be in the show ring LOL...
My show dogs are my pets first and show dogs second. They are in oil and wraps and run in and out a doggie door, chase the dog next door along the fence ect...mine are only crated when I'm gone and on the road ( or when I have a bitch in season and the males drive me crazy LOL) but are switched out often so no one is in their Xpen longer than 30 minutes at a time.
Seriously, this is one of the best threads I've read in a VERY LONG time!
BTW...I offer free grooming also if the new family live close enough and I do NOT ship my puppies either ( when I have puppies )
Thanks Lorraine!!
