Well I still have that trick of moving the babies off balance.. it forces them to move.. and once they do.. they tend to move on.. works well! :) BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E3P00009 Date: 03/19/97 From: BOB KOHL Time: 04:55am \/To: MEG ALFONI (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: a reminder > Will you guys cut this out!!!!

I grew up with a boxer, and got another shortly after I got married, then started a breeding kennel. But lost interest after I moved here. Seems the local judges won't consider one in a show, unless both the tail is docked, and the ears cropped, even though it's illegal to do so in some areas (like England). I never cropped ears, too expensive, high mortality rate during the surgery, and potential ear problems. Heck, they're better looking with floppy ears. :) I have a Labrador/Samoyed cross now, and my daughter is starting to breed Australian Cattle Dogs, Blue Heelers (as well as horses). .....Bob --- GEcho/32 & IM 2.50 * Origin: Further North - USR 33.6 x2 (306) 956-3383 (1:140/12.1)
