I doubt he knows enough about the breed to know there ARE working lines. His terminology and evaluation are so inaccurate, it's pretty clear he's making most of it up as he goes along. For example, referring to several dogs as 'roach backed', when the picture show strong straight backs. He's counting on getting the money from people who also don't know anything about the breed, or dogs in general, and who are gullible enough to swallow whatever BS he dishes out. He's probably succeeding, too. As the old saying goes, "Fools and their money...." Janice In a message dated 1/8/2007 3:25:27 P.M.

He hasn't said a word about working lines, as they fall in line with the same structure as his dogs (minus size). - Jackie In a message dated 1/8/2007 4:14:13 PM Central Standard Time, cnnpmm2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: .
