I don't much care about embarrassment in the conformation ring -- when you have completed an obedience healing sequence with a dog attached by its teeth to your pant leg, there is not much that can embarrass me!!! I worry much more about what will happen to the puppies -- where will they go? Will they be bred? How will they be bred and how will THEIR puppies be sold. My kennel name is on that pedigree for three generations and unwittingly, puppies can be sold by unsuspecting, very charming, new people to the breed to the likes of Puppy Palace etc etc. Not my fault -- it is true, but nonetheless my kennel name would be there, in black and white. I have known too many pedigrees where well known breeders' dogs (from UK and from the USA) have come up time and time again. Anne "John P.
