Re: Accidental Breeding
I want the name of the trainer that is let this happen. heck I will send my male to him and see if I can get $1000 out of the deal. Take the money and use it to enter some Trials or Shows and get some title's on your studs then you will have a reason to worry about a closed line.

Just because you think YOUR dog is worth competing does not have any bearing on if it will actually be competitive, don't be upset about that because a lot of dogs don't have it.

Dogs are in and out of the bed so I will start out with one and wake up in the morning with two or start with two and end up with just one. Unless the other half is in the bed she won't let them in the bed when she is there. Which is a shame cause the dogs snore less.
