Original post: <<As someone said to Don, "You could breed Cheeio to a camel and still get show pups!!>> Only one person has emailed me saying it sounds like I'm calling all the dogs Cheerio was bred to camels (???), but I do respect that person's opinion so, for the record: 1. The statement was a quote (not mine), but I do agree with the sentiment, which does NOT call the dogs she was bred to camels!! 2. ALL the dogs Cheerio has been bred to are GREAT, GREAT dogs and are responsible for fully 50% of the genes in her progeny, but, 3. They are all DIFFERENT dogs bred to the SAME bitch (just look at your Red Books to see that most of the time it's the other way around to produce nice show pups). 4. Mea culpa.....let's move on!
