Hi Tish, Speaking for myself, none of the bitches I bred took, therefore no litters. And I know others who had the same problem. We can't control mother nature...

What needs to be done is SP & MP need to be combined - and yes, I know there is the travel problem but other regions travel as far. SP litters declined drastically this year. Believe me, I wish there was a simple solution to all the problems we are facing today. My question to you is - when MP almost lost the futurity in 2004, they raised the number of litter nominations to 44. What happened in 2005?? They dropped again to about 21 or so. Why?? I sure don't understand - and that is not all CTH's fault. Tish ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
