Now days a stud owner doesn't even see the bitches bred to their stud with fresh chilled semen implants. Only a futurity rule. I think it is in place to prevent stud dog owners from being able to put up their dogs progeny, hence racking up a mess of ROM points. I think it is a good rule. **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
