I am told a bitch is being shown, and winning, and she is spayed, but only "partly" spayed. What the heck is "partly" spayed??? Is there a full moon??? lol I will pass on the info. Don't know who the bitch is, so don't ask me. :-) Ileana Sent from my iPhone On Jan 24, 2013, at 2:48 PM, barbara17236@xxxxxxx wrote: ONLY in Veterans class. And, I believe, if a s/n veteran wins BOB at an all-breed show, the dog/bitch may not go onto Group competition. Anyone else know if that is true or not?

Can you show those animals in any other class? Best of Breed? Open? Someone asked me and I don't want to give the wrong answer.
