I have a client with a Pharaoh Hound. She imported this bitch from the Netherlands. The bitch is still under 6 months, but lovely and near as I can tell will finish easily. I called the top breeder in the state to get some info on showing Pharaoh's and was told that I should figure it out on my own. And they wonder why entries are down. Anyone who calls me for info on showing GSD's get info. As much as I have time and energy to give. I don't lie, I don't short cut. I tell them what they really need to know. I don't care who they got or get a dog from, even people I don't care for, or dogs I don't think are what should be shown, they are going to get information and truth from me. The more they ask the more I have to say. No wonder there are not more show dogs these days. I am so disgusted with this breeder. And she ought to want to see if this bitch would be good for her lines, not cut me off!!!!! I am contacting a handler. He will want to make money and will lie and tell me how fast he can finish her. sheila --------------------------------- Check out the hottest 2008 models today at Yahoo!
