Well we got a great response about dog shows being fun or not. I love a lively conversation. I have noticed that some people said that sometimes they help their friends by building majors for them. They bring out their dogs to make sure the show holds for a major. I've got a question for you. To anyone's knowledge, when these people who bring their dogs out to help their friends get the major...................have these dogs that they used as fillers ever won the points instead of their friend's dog? Wouldn't that be a kick?! Just curious.........Barbara ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
