I co-bred a litter last year with my good friend from New Jersey Ann Marie Mariano, also known as agent 003, we nominated the litter and one of the puppies was showed in her futurity this year in Vegas...I did not enter the male I have because he was very very down in his pasterns...so now because of the futurity rule I can not show him in his maturity ( if I wanted to ) next year....why is this rule ?...if the litter is nominated I should be able to show in his maturity whether I entered into the futurity or not...some one explain this to me...we are always talking about small entries.....Ed ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
