Liz, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and the rest of the Red Book Committee for all the hard work and dedication that goes into producing such a wonderful tool for new and experienced breeders alike. THANK YOU! BIG TIME!

That would be me :) I just wanted to be sure you answered when you were ON your meds and to give you a chance to reconsider if you had forgotten to take them when you wrote your paragraph. 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).. And if you remember, I applauded your honesty and said I was happy to get an honest answer since most people don't usually evaluate the bad as well as the good about their dogs. Ed, you really should get a Red Book. It has lots of pretty pictures for you and since it's in black & white...you can even use your crayons to color those pictures. <G> The rest of us use the Red Book as a tool. We read the statistics and use it in conjunction with our knowledge and intuition to obtain ( breed or buy) dogs to show.
