It seems to me, the best thing to do, is talk to people. We took a bitch to the National one time, looked at the dogs, and bred to a young male, named Scorpio. He went on to win. I remember on year when someone bred to Houston the day before Specials and he only went number two Select. Had he not bred, he might have had the extra energy to go number one, who knows? I remember two people seeing Ben, and breeding to him. I think Mary Ann Imhoff had considered him, but didn't use him until she saw him at the national, and bred to him there. She hadn't asked before, that I know of. Tedi asked about a puppy she saw walking around, and found he was for sale. No bandana or sign. Talk to each other, listen to what people are saying, let it be known you are looking and they will come. communication is always a good thing at the National. You also might make a friend.
