Hi Ann, First of all congratulations! I have a question for you. Since Muggles has a litter and won't be at the National, will her progeny class still be shown? The reason I ask is that I had (years ago) an ROM bitch who was entered, but not shown due to a litter at home. At the time I was told her progeny could be shown. All the proud owners with their winning progeny were looking forward to that. The day of the presentation class, they were refused entry. Apparently, someone got their wires crossed. I can understand a need for specific rules etc. I think everyone needs to know exactly what is acceptable and what is not, so that those kind of disappointments don't come up. My argument at that time was the classes where the sire or dam is deceased the progeny did participate, if I remember correctly. In the case of a ROM bitch, and breeding her for her last litter, VS. going to the National to participate in the parade, I personally would opt for the litter box, and the possibility of future stars.

Muggles is entered in the Parade of Greats at the National and won't be there as she has no one to take care of her 3 week old Rollins puppies. Rollins says he's going to the national and he's not helping out. > Ann > www.edangsd.com > home of #1 2005 Major producing Dam, I've Got It All of Edan ROM > Breeder/owner of 58 Champions and 16 Register of Merit > I've Got Ch Mechanical Bull-Can Sel #4 Ch MeMe puppies > ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
