Seems to me that having progeny show in the area of birth would give one an idea of what is produced in that area. No matter where the bitch was purchased, or from whom, the bitch, to me, becomes a producer from that area. That should be the main reason for having regions, other wise it just becomes a glorified puppy match. If the puppy, or teenager, is sold to another region it should still be shown in the area it was whelped. This of course this would be difficult for some. Having the wrong judge would also be distasteful for some. Life's a bitch! Randy C. **************Remember Mom this Mother's Day! Find a florist near you now.
