Thanks to Charles and Ted for their answers. It's easy for a newish
member to forget that after the AKA show comes the auction. I like the
idea of good breeding pairs being the goal - it strips away a lot of the
false competitiveness a show can generate. I guess I'll toss away the
water soluble steroids and dump the Canadian magnifying water, eh?
