Ed, when the show puppies didn't turn out, were you given a replacement? If that one didn't turn out what did you do??? All the following considered, and the puppy was in fact show quality, but maybe not what you were looking for "but if you have an agreement with a breeder, that" when you buy a pup that is considered showable, AND everything with the pup turns out ok....both ears up, no missing teeth, both testicles, hips and elbows are prelimed, and they look as tho the dog will OFA at 2, then the owner has an obligation to the breeder Just curious Susie www.geocities.com/witmergsd ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
