I think everyone's life would be a whole lot easier if you could make money from breeding and showing dogs. ;) The only people that really profit are the handlers.Quote:

Of coures I fell in LOVE with the English springer but did ya see the bronze Newfie. Was so glad hubby was out when it came on. (geezz just what I would need another monster dog)
Who the heck makes money off showing dogs?! Wow. If you could point me to somebody that does, PLEASE PM me! :D I'd love to hear how.Quote:

I didn't catch the show, but did anybody catch the name of the Peke?
