Talk about throwing money "down the tubes".......<G> I can't figure out why this is even open for discussion....or are we on 'the Schedule' We had a bitch come in a week ago, who had not been tested, but had been on Baytrel for four weeks prior to the breeding. We still would only do an AI. It is not worth the risk, and no matter how much we trust the bitch owner, without a test result, there is not going to be a breeding. Not only do you have to worry about your male, but also there is a duty to the next bitch to make sure nothing is passed on. This stuff is throwing off our schedule. We may have to adjust for the New Year, but I am appointing a committee to consider the ramifications. It is Flower Boy, David, Delaine, Paul, Frank Tate, and Tom Langlitz, with Lew as an alternate in case someone refuses to serve. When a decision has been made, it will be sent to the review Committee for alternative proposals, which will be turned over to Carolyn and Zoe to decide to let it out of Committee or sent for reconsideration. If approved, we will ask it to be reviewed by Barbara Williams and Paula for final approval by The Famous Linda Batistoni. Notice will be sent on the proper schedule.
