I loved the ad for Harley, really pretty. The thing is, as time goes by, one might look at him and wonder, "really nice dog, I wonder who he is out of?" Maybe someone migh want to approach the owner about breeding to him, or know who the sire is to breed to him. No harm, no foul, but it can be helpful information for the furture. But, hey, this is America!

It used to take me a long time to go through my Reviews from the 80's. I enjoyed the smaller format, too. The newer ones today are pretty but just don't have much to them. I showed one to a friend recently who used to be a member and she was shocked at the thinness of it!
