L. breeds fantastic Spinonei (I made that plural form up) and requires that they be hunted. I ran into a Spinone pup at a schoolboy lacrosse game a few years back. The owner was astonished that I knew the breed and even more astonished when I asked if she got the pup from L. "Um, no", was the answer, "She said we had to hunt with the dog." Score 1 for L. and subtract 1 from the owner who had to find a different breeder.<BR/><BR/>Big attagirl to the subject of the article - if you love a breed, love what makes it tick, not just what it looks like...dr. hypercubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248184324020645672noreply@blogger.com
