Thank you Mike that's a interesting tid bit of information.
I breed dogs and I find it very interesting how many folks get the idea
anyone can breed and do it well.
This tells me that of the " registered fjords" those that own them are
thinking.
Is it possible there are Fjords that are not registered out there breeding??
I am sure there are some.
Just a curiosity?? Not that it would serve any purpose to there owners, it
wouldn't make sense IMO.
Thanks again,
Roberta
