Barbara..I am glad you appreciated my post, however.I have to admit I am a bit confused.The one thing I just absolutely hate about e-mail is the fact that you can't hear someone speaking.With that said, I get the feeling from the rest of your post that you might be a bit defensive and that you believe that I have implied that there is some appearance of impropriety on your part. Why you would possibly be defensive or believe that my statement could be misconstrued as anything more than literal is beyond me.No one is being negative here...facts are facts. You put up a nice dog that you tried to buy as a puppy, a dog that you were excited to let everyone know had won his futurity and had been keeping track of his show career and wins and posting those brags to the List.This is simply testimonial to how much you loved this dog and your previous statements about the dog are a matter of record and could probably be found in the List archives. As a breeder I would be very proud of dogs that go directly or indirectly to my lines. I just hope I have the stick-to-it-tiveness to last in the breed for 45 years!.. Bottom line is this..you gave the dog a win your felt he deserved. Period. If you have a problem with this compliment, then please accept my apology.
