On the other hand, we have had some TOP show dogs sold to supposedly excellent show homes, only to have them sit after being shown a couple of times, with Reserves. One case in particular, the bitch was cearly a select quality animal, and she sits, she is now a veteran, but the owners are too busy with dogs of their own breeding. It is frustration beyond belief, and maddening. She should have been an easy champion. Makes me more than a little angry. As far as selling good dog to a newbie...were'nt we once all new at some point. Someone had to take that chance. In this day and age with our ever-aging, ever-shrinking list of "serious" show homes....newbies are a necessary and welcomed addition to the scene.
