I haven't talked to Fortins at all but have w/Sandy Johnson some. My Baron is from Sandy. I don' t think the tri color would have much to do w/it...there are alot of tri champions AKC. Brookehaven Corgis is a tri..Sandy's Howie is a tri...Cherry Mathiason has a tri champ..so does Susie Griffith...and Cheryl Luce to name a few. I do alot of surfing as well. I like to read up on health or training issues. Heck...who am I kidding..anything I can get my hands on. I really get into the legislation as well. Do you do any testing on your dogs? How many do you have?

I think I recognize your kennel name or have come across it in my many late nights of surfing the web. There is nothing more I like to do then chit chat. Women are Olympian Gold Medalist in that arena. hehe I wish you the best in the show ring. Its a whole new world in the ring. It is my aim to get there. Are you showing AKC or UKC?

Thanks for the friend request. Can never have too many friends. You'll find lots of them here.
