As you know I do know the history of this breeding very well. NO, I would not personally buy a puppy from this breeding nor would I recommend it.
Just give me a call if you have any questions.

Don't forget class at 11 a.m. this morning.
bring your bait.

SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!

OK let me re-emphasize this for all of you that just called me.
Just because a breeder has had multiple litters over a few years does not make them an expert.
If they have not improved their lines they are not doing something right so they are NOT an expert in the breed. Have they, themselves gotten any champions in their lines? Have they themselves gotten any working titles, obedience titles or temperament titles on their own dogs? If the answer is NO then they are far from someone who should be giving anyone advise. It takes years of training experience and working experience to become an expert at anything. So listen to those who train, work and show their dogs not to the computer warriors and self proclaimed experts.

To everyone calling me this morning I understand your frustration.

JUST REMEMBER

It's not the quantity of puppies a breeder has produced but the quality.

It's not the number of years they have been in the breed but what they have actually done to contribute and to improve it.

Many self proclaimed experts do not even know how to feed a dog correctly let alone walk it on a leash, train it or care for it. What makes them think they are qualified to give others advise?
Maybe these self proclaimed experts should get off the computer and care for their dogs instead of criticizing others.

You can talk about anything but it's actually what you yourself do that counts.

I want to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to my dobergirls. Cha-Cha and Tahiti are littermates and the battle is always on with those two. Cha-Cha is at 8 pts and Tahiti is at 7 points. They are two beautiful girls and I'm proud to say I bred them. Shauna and Gina are doing a fantastic job showing them and I can't say thank you enough.
It was little miss Kandie's first weekend in the ring and she did a great job. I'm glad to see Tim and Connie are having fun with her. Watch out big sisters Cha-Cha and Tahiti, Kandie is right behind you.
On a side note I found it very interesting that one of the judges for the Misc. this weekend asked how I thought the mouth should be examined since there is a 2 tooth disqualification - "this is a working breed and I should be able to examine the mouth." He had been told by an exhibitor that he couldn't go in the mouth of a corso because he could be bitten, so how did I feel about him examining my female.
For all of you with your little fantasy about the corso, this is a working breed and the judges WILL be going in their mouths and counting teeth so you better get used to it and get your dogs trained and socialized so someone can actually touch them and get in their mouths. AKC judges have no problem DQ-ing a dog for an aggressive behavior or inappropriate behavior in the ring. They will kick them out for missing teeth, and disqualifying bites.

OK everybody here is what we have so far. Sorry I haven't posted sooner but we haven't gotten back to the hotel before 6:30 each evening then taking care of dogs and getting a bite to eat it's just been too late.
We got 4 inches of snow here in Denver this morning so that made things even more fun.
As always the shopping is great.

I will post Monday's results some time Tuesday after I get home.

If a person says it's their "business" then they are breeding strictly for an income as in any other business, so what do you think?

Business
Definition

Economic system in which goods and services are exchanged for one another or money, on the basis of their perceived worth. Every business requires some form of investment and a sufficient number of customers to whom its output can be sold at profit on a consistent basis.

Lets post it and see what every ones opinion is.

We will be getting to Denver on Wednesday afternoon. Grooming will be set up in the area by ring 5. Give me a call if you can't find us. Specialties begin in the afternoon on Thursday.
See you there.
