Be HONEST.for that should be in our Breeders Code of Ethics. Wiser words were never spoken, Donna. Maybe thru your example, people will start to be more honest....we can only admire you for it. Words to that effect were added to the proposed new Breeders Code. I'm hoping it will pass muster at the next Board session. We grieve with you over Ivana....one in a million.....a loss to us all and to the Breed. She was a thrilling GVX and we will never forget her. God bless....
