She had the whole line: Superior size, temperament, structure, etc., etc... She was a novice and got two bitches and a male. She was asking $1,500 - $2,500 and sold half of her first litter. After a couple of the ones she sold came back because of structural issues, she could not refund the money. I sort of felt sorry for her.... Great money making enterprise that ate her up - not sorry enough to buy her out however. Dave ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
