A truly superior breeder thinks of the benefit to the breed when planning a
breeding.  Why would anything so insignificant as not liking a person stop
you?  It takes a small mind of either party (stud dog owner or bitch owner)
to not breed the best dog to the best bitch.  "But different kinds of people
are what makes the world go around.  Besides some would not look so good if
it were not for the others."  My dad told me as a kid.
A very Merry Christmas to ALL!!
