Dogs goto the National - for sale It's very interesting, when you think about how times have changed. Years ago, when you saw "agent" in a catalog after a dog's name, it meant that the person listed was the one you approached to inquire about stud services, whether the dog was for sale, or if there were relatives of that dog available, etc. If there was no agent, you approached the owner for the same information.. In the same way, in old horse show days, if an agent was listed it meant that the horse was most likely for sale. Somewhere along the way it became "tacky" to inquire.... It has never been illegal to sell dogs at a dog show...not an AKC rule, either. You can not DISPLAY dogs for sale, though...meaning you can't take an ex pen full of puppies to a show and hang a sign on the pen saying "for sale." People have always sold dogs at dog shows, including puppies. You just can't make a big deal out of it. As for doing breedings at dog shows, it is done all the time. Not in public view, of course, because after all, JQP might see it and we all know how sexually repressed this country is......... Surely there is some way to work this out ... of course, as far as stud services go, anyone can ask about a dog they like. Youngsters for sale, tho... I doubt very much if the AKC would (or could) stop anyone from putting bandanas on a dog and walking it around..........maybe instead of putting it on the dogs, people with dogs for sale could tie a bandana around their own upper arm. Do you think someone is going to tell you what YOU can wear? Peggy Tari Kridler wrote: >Ha, >GOOD LUCK getting anything off the ground.? I have tried for YEARS.?
