BIG congrats to Diane, Joy and RJ
why doesn't anyone ever congratulate (or say anything about) his breeder???
Who is RJ's breeder?
Why do you feel the need to start trouble? Do you know the 'breeder' personally? I doubt it since she is not in labs. Casbar's Hart to Hart is at least 5 generations of Casbar. Just because the owner Diane Ammerman is not the breeder on record does not mean that RJ is not a product of her hard work over the past 30 years to develop her lines.
Just be happy for your fellow Labrador on a great accomplishment of 11 best in shows at only age 3!
That's not true. If you look at the pedigree on the web site you can see that only 1/4 of the pedigree is Casbar. Should we be congratulating the breeders of the other 3/4 too?
Why does someone always have to start trouble?

I don't see anyone starting trouble. Friends of mine that co-own with the OB (original breeder) and appreciate it, always mention the breeder. I give kudos to everyone whether I bred the dog or I co-own with the OB. The breeder of the dog will always be mentioned when I discuss my winning dogs that I haven't bred. I am grateful to have a special dog that their hard work went into even if the pedigree has my kennel name in it. Some of you apparently don't feel the same, you're allowed to but let us not get so dramatic.
Why are some of you getting disturbed by someone asking? Don't all breeders deserve credit? I don't know who the breeder is of this dog. If the owner doesn't want to mention or post it, that's their business but don't be surprised that some breeders find that to be peculiar manners. I wouldn't like it if I bred the dog. I also would be hesitant to place again with someone that didn't mention me as the breeder even once in a little while. I always do because everyone deserves credit and I've received mine also.
My point is, are the owner and handler so much more deserving than the breeder?
Congratulations.
Congrats to Diane, Joy & RJ!
As for the controversy, I have not had the pleasure of meeting his breeder. I do know that Diane bred his dam, but allowed the new owners to name her. So we can't totally write Diane out of the picture . . . her lines and breeding helped to create the beautiful dog (along with alot of luck from heaven).
Many beautiful dogs influenced the genetics on this boy . . . congrats to everyone who has a dog in his pedigree!

Did anyone say to "totally write Diane out of the picture?" I guess some feel that the OB is written out of the picture.
That's piling it on a tad thick don't you think??
Who is the breeder anyway? Kind of condescending to say she's not into Labs. Apparently she was into Labs enough to produce a winner like RJ!
100% correct!!!!! Saves a breeder from having to keep a kennel full and provides great loving homes for those dogs where they will receive individual and loving attention. If they do indeed grade out to be show potential, they are then shown or bred to produce the next generation of quality show dogs.
The biggest draw back to this idea is that not many people can not work together on co-ownerships and at times top breeders are hesitant to place the top quality puppies on these arrangements.
Bc this Sharlene has no clue what she's talking about
Way to go to Team RJ!
It takes a ton of work to get a dog its American & Canadian championship - but to add to that 11 BIS's, 3 BISS's and multiple Group 1's - Spectacular!
........will get you a lot in this sport!
Yes, it's a ton of work and it takes a halfway decent dog, but really at that level it's who has the most $$$$$$ to spend on the most political handler.
