Reading this here and there and I guess I just don't get what the big deal is.why is this becoming so complicated.??? Is everyone all of a sudden so "rule" conscious that we are gonna report one another for a sale or breeding??? For years and years people have been bringing dogs to Nationals and selling them, breeding them and recommending such to those who come up introduce themselves and ask.I know what the rules are.but as usual someone always figures away around it.I see this a great way to network and put a face with an email name or voice from the phone.are we that much in the age of computers that now we have to go to a message board somewhere read post it notes and then seek out.just seems to complicated. Spectators that just walk into the arena aren't gonna do that.I am sure that if you really like something in the ring.when its waiting in line.you will see "it's group" hovering and/or getting the handler a drink, towel, brush etc.just go pay a compliment and then ask where you can get something like it.most stud dog owners know of pups avail and/or when the dog is avail to breed. Just more complications by people . most of us are too busy to read all these emails being we are getting the dogs ready, if we have to follow a whole new protocol on how to sell dogs or breed them at the National, most of us will fail, again cause we are outside getting them ready. There isn't enough hours in a day to keep up with all of this and do our jobs right, so good luck.with this one.!
