If he got into a court of law he would probably be very sorry, as the nature of his "business" would be made very public. Syd SYD MAILBERG I don't think it would be hard to make a case for damages. All you'd need are a few sales contracts for Futurity nominated show prospects and compare those numbers to whatever a Petland GSD runs. Multiply the damages by the number of dogs he's taking a "loss" on not being able to rub elbows with the Futurity nominated crowd...throw in the difference for stud fees, worth of a puppy out of a Futurity/Maturity winning bitch, talk about how a ROM title adds worth...now we all know it's nonsense...that the alphabet soup we put so much stock in doesn't make the show prospect gait better, but are you gonna' trust a judge to sort that out? The true nature of his business? After that puff piece put out around Westminister? Me thinks he'd like the opportunity to talk about his business any chance he gets.
