Re: Akc Hunting tests

I would have preferred if they wanted to increase revenue's for AKC that they had just made it 2xMH, 3XMH, ect instead of making it a scores.thing.

Re: Pre registered by breeder...

I have no desire to name an entire litter, but do ask people to use my name in front of what they want to use as their name. I figure after breeding for 30 years I deserve that. Never had any issue with anyone not complying.
