why pay money when you can have it online for free. no point in spending that kind of money on a pet.

...sounded like she was interested in the kinds of services you can get from a registry....
I guess I was different -- all we had when I was a kid and teenager was PETS. They WERE registered though, and I learned a lot pouring over pedigrees. Names led me to books, to names of breeders IN those books, to their HOMES to see their dogs....to an interest in doing more..to understanding what you could do through the registries and what you couldn't do...eh, so much for research and being interested in a breed.

Never mind about being interested and following where a pedigree may lead....I hear registries just want your money anyway. Yeah, forget about it...

Usually an interest will lead you to spend a little money....good grief..
