Re: [AlpacaTalk] BEW

Wendy -

I wouldn't be so hasty. Blue eyes are not a show fault (in the US); in fact over the years a number of BEW males have done very well on the show circuit. The decision to breed, of course, is an individual one, but I would again caution about being hasty in making a determination about this little guy's future. You've lots of time. Do lots of research and talk to a lot of people before deciding.

Good luck!

Jerry
