No there are plenty but the ever rising costs of getting to shows and hotel fees certainly do affect. I have been basically out of dogs since Cypress closed because I do not have kennel space and to make things cost effective for clients cannot do right now. expecting anyone to pay entire costs of a show weekend with only a few dogs shown is not feasible. When I am able again I will post and see what happens..and I thank my past clients for keeping me informed about their dogs.. I wish them the best...debi james ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
