I'm glad I'm not the only one to make this difference! Thanks for the link,
Pete. What beautiful Beagles! That's another breed that I like a lot.

Betreff: [iPad] Re: VERY OT: pet question/Kris
The breeder that I bought my dog from wanted me to visit them before they
would take an order. I think they just wanted to see what kind of person I
was and how I interacted with their dogs. I never felt like they were
inspecting me. What a wonderful kennel and fantastic kennel owners. Those
dogs have it made. Here's a link.

Those pictures of the dogs in the grass, that's the kennel, that's where
they are every day and the pups have plenty of play toys. They had a 4-5
month waiting list for their pups.
