The Lab is number one and the GSD is number two if you are talking of AKC registered dogs. However the dogs mentioned do not allow the recent new colors in their breed and I am not talking about white's :-) If you look at the general public and what they buy it is always someone wanting something different than the next guy. :-) Main reason for the designer dogs and their popularity. :-) Theresa -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 9/19/13, ELG440@xxxxxxx <ELG440@xxxxxxx> wrote: Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] NATIONAL COSTS To: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, September 19, 2013, 5:16 PM And yet, those breeds are never the top one or two registered.

Does the economy not effect other breeds? Check numbers for Goldens ,Labs, Dobes and Boxers. Heck, some Lab specialties get more than 380 in their regional specialties. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
