Hello Dick,
Oh what I would give to be able to work amongst so much beauty as he has access to and under his own roof. I have thought of this as well. The breeders all seem welcome at each other's farm, and I sense it is this need to keep access open to possible parent stock which is the prime motivator. The kids and the farm keep me firmly planted in Fresno, but if I ever get a chance to slip over to Japan I'll probably wet myself.
