What a shame. you still haven't shown one gr.ch.dog of norrods with 50 percent ofrn blood that was in sdj. last i looked there is only one r.o.m dog in sdj for ironline as well and ch.hagler wasnt breed by ironline and ch.gambler wasnt match by them either he was bought back after his hunting and was said to be nothing compaired to hagler-per haglers owners in fl.
