[RC] Puppies - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Barbara Ward mashallaha@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I take exception to the remark that one should avoid breeders who have both parents on the grounds. I bred and showed Salukis for better than 25 years and had both parents on the grounds. The bitches were champions, the stud was American and Canadian champion and National Top Ten. I once or twice used his full brother, major pointed but injured before he could be finished, the only reason he wasn't a champion as well. The deciding factor is the quality and disposition of the dogs and the way they are raised, not whether the stud dog is also on premises. Serious breeders/showers like me, who make a commitment to the history and quality of the breed, will have breeding stock of both sexes. Would you prefer a pet bitch owner who uses the neighbor's dog as a stud because he's a male of the same breed, irregardless of pedigree, conformation or quality? ===========================================================REAL endurance is sleeping in the tack compartment of your trailer w/the door open, and your horse snorts/snots on your forehead every 30 min! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
