Anyone who knows Jim and Edie Hall knows what fine and ethical dog people they are. The vicious gossip about them is unwarranted and undeserved. Jim Hall is one of the most respected people in the dog world:I have known and respected Jim for 30 years, and In 30 years I have not met one person who has a bad word to say about him, and now, about Edie, (who is my daughter, and was brought up with ethics and integrity). . Please...consider the source. Please write me privately regarding this manner. It has even gotten to Frank Tate(!) who knows better than to believe this garbage. No doubt I will be next, LOL...
