As long at it is still fun for you, and the dog is having a good time. When do you decide that the dog will no longer be shown? When the dog is unhappy going to the shows, and you aren't enjoying yourself at the shows. to help the stud dog owner get his dogs ROM? The brood bitch her ROM? I have never gone after a title, such as ROM. You do the breedings, and what happens, does or doesn't. I am amazed at people who insist others work to get a title for their own sire or dam. How much money should it cost to finish a dogs championship? I liked the Guz answer to that. A good dog will cost about $300 a point. An average dog, the price of a small house in the country.
