Penny and Greg......the problem was not with what he wanted to say to her...it was with the way that he said it....he could have said something like there are many other things that you can do with your dog but I really do not think that she will do very well in the AKC conformation ring...he did not have to say...save your money and buy a good dog! Amy Greenhut Justrock German Shepherds ********************************************************************************************* I still believe that he did her a favor and I would've wanted him to do the same with ME had I been in the ring.
