First of all, there was no confrontational statement made, and your polite (original)comment was warmly met and appreciated. This is why I despise forums, the context is all too often construed to what the reader wishes. My knowledge comes from the source of a breeder that knew both bitches. I've been around the breed and in Europe for quite awhile, and contrary to your belief, I know more than the average breeder. Your concern for Petra makes me wonder when you saw her last? I am very well aware of whom the judge is and running Petra at 6 weeks is not even a concern, because she is in top shape (if she is quite obtunded, of course I would reconsider)... QUOTE "Plus you say she is in top show condition? How could she be, she has had three previous litters and is pregnant with her fourth, you'll be lucky if her belly is dragging the ground from being pregnant. I would take serious precautions against showing her, especially if you want a nice healthy litter and dam." You have seen Petra...yes? So Sandras evaluation, mine and my agents is wrong? I do not know what or how your bitches are cared for, mine tuck nicely back and so has she...good breeding does that. Why the confrontation? "If you get on a public forum and make a statement you should have info to back it up." Your words, and I can. Because I am new, you consider me illiterate on the breed? What condition is Oxana in? Oh, she has had a few litters. Sidney?You asked if to whether or not Petra was a close repeat breeding to Gil. My comment only stated what is known between the two sisters, this was not confrontational but only passing breeding information along. When I want answers, I go right to those whom have used what is in question, my information and knowledge comes right from source. These traits where forwarded to me from one of Europes most well known breeders whom used the Bessy side. So I am not merely creating opinions. Yours are from what you have seen or heard, mine are from those whom knew them. Again, Thank You deeply for your concern and firsthand knowledge of Petra because "If you get on a public forum and make a statement you should have info to back it up." Can you forward me a current pic of her, mine must have been retouched. If you wish to discuss this further, you are welcome to email me. Again, the reply in question was not an assault on you because Bessy is in your bitches pedigree. It was a casual reply which I feel was taken wrong.... :)
