Yes Kathy, damned if we do damned if we don't. I am one of those folks that has been discussed as not having bred any or few litters. Yes, I bought my last 3 champions--is that a sin? One of the bitches I co-owned with Sally NEVER lost--she was either BP, WB,BIF--a real winner--Sunshine was the real deal--thank you Sally. Ch. Pinebeach Jesse of Shadowcrest, a Judd son, was a group winner--not to shabby. Ch. Saterhaus BadBoy of Nordlicht, RN,TC,HIC has been no slouch! Due to circumstances beyound my controll I have never been allowed to breed a litter since 1999--after a long dry spell of about 10-12 years. Does not mean we still cannot see a good one folks.
