The first comment about this had nothing to do with solicitation for studs or
garnering ROM's or
promotion of a line or studs......or as one post said.......garnering "suckers"
and self promotion.
<G>
It was a simple comment mentioning the fact that it would be nice to see at
least the sire and
dam of a dog.....and even bit of. pedigree if possible. If a gorgeous
animal is advertised that
Is sired by one of our dogs or out of one of our bitches or even one that we
bred.........I truly
appreciate the person running the Ad mentioning those dogs!!
Anyone that has bred or owned or judged a nice dog ....or a top dog of ANY
venue ....knows that
a lot of work by the breeder, or owner, or exhibitor or trainer brought about
the fine results.
It's just nice to have those dogs mentioned....<G> Often the sire, or dam
, or both, are lying out on
someone's lawn or at our feet as we read the Ads ....and who ever gets tired of
seeing their much
loved dog's name mentioned? <G>
It was just a nice comment or suggestion .........

September Review/Paula's dog
I have to say I agree w/ Paula on this one. There are a dozen reasons to
place an ad.
Not everyone is looking to solicit bitches for a stud dog. (Gasp!)
I know in the past I've put something in when a dog/bitch has finished
and/or for a popular stud, to highlight progeny and/or in the performance
edition and/or to say "thanks" to a handler/team/judges and/or when a dog has
passed. (These days I send extra to rescue for the later).
The issue before the national is a big one because people want to create a
buzz for the national. That's fine.
For anybody that wants 4-generation pedigrees, they're on line. If
someone is interested in a particular line, what's 5 minutes spent on
line???
Come to think of it, I don't even have 4 generation pedigrees on my web
page. Why???? Because I'm not soliciting something for the boys to do!
Guess
what? For all of you who want to...God bless you...not everybody does,
lol.
And in the meantime, I'm not sure it's the job of someone who wants to brag
on a dog to spoon feed info.
In fact, I don't even keep old magazines. I'm not one for clutter and
when there is a record of something right at my fingertips, why would I want
to
keep something that needs dusting?

the way back to
Horand von Grafrath S.V. 1 (he has quite a few lines back to him) and all
you sweet, wonderful,
supportive critics can pay the bill!! Is color ok, or is that too expensive
for ya'll???
I'll have Susan call you for your credit card numbers, ok??

I agree with your comments on this thread. It used to take me a long time
to go through my Reviews
from the 80's. I enjoyed the smaller format, too. The newer ones today
are pretty but just don't have
much to them. I showed one to a friend recently who used to be a member and
she was shocked at
the thinness of it!
