then explain to her that you can show your puppy in any of the 9 regions regardless of place of birth...it invalidates the original intent... ++++++++++++ Ed I tend to disagree with this statement- If you want to see what is being bred then keeping the entries open to show in any region is the way to do it. I don't need to see just the dogs bred and shown in my own region- I see them at all the shows around me. If you go to futurities tosee what dogs are producing then "out of region" dogs that come in are going to tell a lot. I already know what is going on in my area sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
