I was away from home last night and almost dreading reading this thread. I must say there have been some superb replies. I can agree to pretty much every point made here because it was well thought out and expressed. I thanked you all for sharing but I still want to say thank you in post. Knowledge is power and every one of you just provided some based on your own experiences and opinions. These kind of threads will hopefully pop up in searches for potential new owners/breeders/pros to read and contemplate. If even one person read this and considered the questions posed then we were all successful. Thanks again and I will post some more specific replies later. I'm finishing up school projects and finals for the rest of the week. Rest assured the topic will be revisited!
Best Regards,
B
