Will anyone actually look at the information and use it judiciously and actually breed to animals who haven't produced 50+ puppies a year or will it be another waste of time? I'm not sure who's time you are referring to as being wasted? If it's my time (and I, along with my Red Book committee work considerable hours all year for this labor of love) then YES it's all worth it if just one person appreciates it. If you're talking about wasting your time...free advertising for your dogs in exchange for signing a form, writing a 150 word write up, (times 3) and putting them into the already stamped and self addressed envelope, well that is for you to decide. As for the Breeder Interview, if I remember correctly, I e-mailed you last year asking for your help in doing an interview with Ann Brogden for the Red Book to which I got no response. Thank you to all that have contacted me.
