And if that changes.... if the new owner can for whatever reason no longer do more for them than I can they can come back home.? I have dogs that will NEVER produce another puppy or go to another dog show and they are not for sale for ANY price.? What did they have to do?? They gave me their lives... I made them what they are or are not... they were loyal to a fault... and when they die they have been faithful until the end and I wouldn't trade a second I spent with them for all the money in the world.... maybe that is the reason I don't have any money... LOL Over the years.... several people have tried to buy dogs from me with no luck.... the secret is... make me believe that you'll take better care of him/her than I can, love him/her more than I do.... and do all you can do with him/her for all his/her life... then money will not stand in the way of your owning that dog. **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?
