!tony! 227 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 do you think that alot of show people keep the strain and keep them only for shows has ruined the line some ? the reason i ask is i have a chance of a young dog still green . awsome looking animal but i think the parents have just been for showing and not working ! do you think the dog would still have the work ability or would this have been lost with lack of work and too much show ?
