Laura, the first one had another question that was odd. She wanted to know if the name of the sire and dam would be on the restricted papers. There were other red lights so I decided not to sell her a puppy. With the second one, I mentioned your last option and we'll see if I hear back from them again. I've bred dogs since the mid 1970s and I've never had pet people ask this question before. Two in the same week was a little surprising. All the best, Susan Cochran
