You did it just right! Just by sending the email to

What part of the world do you live in? And what are your expectations for a puppy -
did you want one as a family companion, or did you also want to do obedience
competition, or show in conformation,
I'd like us all to be very careful when posting about other people, owners, breeders,
whatever. If you are posting about positive experiences, it's not an issue. But if you
are posting about negative experiences, it can be very tricky. I don't want lawsuits
threatened, I hate seeing that
Sandy,
Thank you for your continued interest in the Breeder Checklist, I certainly appreciate
it! There are several other sections that already address the various aspects of
breeding such as championships and health certifications. Spay and neuter requirements
are also already addressed, so
