YAY! I'm so excited for you, Ashley! Malinois are such beautiful dogs, I'm jealous... or, it would be awesome if you got one of Visa's puppies, she's so so pretty and smart. I do remember you talking about getting BC's for a long time! Doesn't the CKC offer limited registration, just to compete in Obedience? I'm not surprised that they don't offer conformation for BC's, that is one of my favorite things about Canada... however, I think it'd be a lot smarter for the CKC to require working titles to show herding breeds, instead of cutting BC's out all together.

You're going to have your hands full with a bunch of fry and a new puppy! err, wait, so am I...
