...not knowing much about the Red Book, I had never seen one when about two years ago or so the redbook coordinator asked for a bunch of info because a bitch that I co-owned was in the top 20...well I complied with her wishes, and when she read my answers to some of the questions, she contacted me and asked me if I was sure I wanted to say what I did...I told her I gave my honest opinion and evaluation of this dog...she stated to me that most people do not usually say there types of things ( the negatives)..I told her that as many already know..I am NOT most people....well today at the shows in Northern CA. a breeder, who owns a dog out of my bitch, stated to me that the breeder of this bitch I co-owned was not happy about what I wrote and wanted to know why I wrote it.....wonder why the breeder did not ask ME directly...my point is not about the integrity, or lack there of, of the breeder of my top twenty bitch...the question is what is the RED Book for?......I talked about what my bitch produced both good and bad...and if folks don't like it, the breeder included....too bad...sounds like I'm back in mediation...lol...don't worry, I go off the list tomorrow until June..lol...FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
