It was great meeting everyone. Thanks for being so nice! Our new baby Peaches is loving her new home!

I’m thinking that it would be best to start with a good standard and a good quality white. I want to do this right, and I believe the best place to start is with a pair. If you know people to talk with who have good quality standard lines, show quality, etc., and a good show quality...
