Well, I don't remember a slam. If you are referring to the comments I made, I think you ought to re-read them, because my comments weren't a slam by any stretch of the imagination. I simply stated what I was taught when I first got involved in purebred dogs and what I still believe. Perhaps you folks weren't taught those things...then again, there is undoubtedly a great difference in the years of which we speak, as well as a big difference in the part of the country. If your reference to a slam is to some other post, then I just didn't see the post. I saw no post slamming people who advertise in newspapers.
