i agree to some extent keeping the good blood in you own circle, but what about the guys who cant get hold of any decent blood. at the minute round my end everyone keeps dogs, but no bitches, so theres no litters going. ive been on the look out for months, all i have is a retired 12yr bitch, and im coming across loadsa work for a dog. ive had offers, but none were the parents seen hard graft, and ive been messed around by peddlers and liars. but i suppose good litters are already sold before theyre even lined.
