Re: Perfect Pedigree Issues

I am very confused. Why do you need to edit a pedigee? Did it change or are you just wanting to add titles and ch? I don't believe that you can edit any pedigee. Only the ones u create. Just make a new one. I don't believe grant is running this site anymore. Get ahold of one of the mods for more info.

Re: English Pointer Tail

A 12 o'clock tail is something I was obsessed with 4 years ago. I have learned that most dogs don't point perfect everytime. A tail can and will change with age up to over a year old, as their muscles develop. Some dogs will pull their tail on pidgeons but 12 o'clock on quail.
