There are top dogs that have sired over 60 Champions. They've been used for stud because of their desired traits and their ability to produce gorgeous dogs....
If a dog is used more that 7 times in a lifetime it is a requirement. |
Okay, now I see! Goodness, I did have it confused. COMPLETE duh moment. I'm working on less than 2 hrs sleep last night.
Now that, makes more sense. Also makes me feel a TON better about where my girl came from! Thanks so much for clarifying!
I can't wait to get her pedigree now! Do you know what that T followed by other letters and some numbers is about? Is that their AKC registration number? Bella already has one of those according to her papers but hasn't been officially registered yet. Does AKC just issue "x" amount of papers with one of these numbers according to however many pups were had? I really appreciate all your help as I know you are a busy lady and this must get grueling after being asked such dumb questions.
