What happened to the concept of showing in your own region??? Which region? The one where the sperm was collected, or the one in which it was inserted? The region in which the puppy was whelped, or the one in which it is now owned? The region in which the owner lived when she whelped the litter, or the one she moved to since the birth? The region of the owner, or the co-owner? The region in which the bitch was impregnated, or the one in which she whelped the litter? See the problem? Evan L.
