Pretty out of her ass... ?!? Nor was she conditioned by the previous owner that conditioned her for the first 3 !!! Also is it true that she was in such poor shape that she lost her top 2 cutters at the 25 min mark and was too weak to defend herself and couldn't stand on all four for the next 35 mins but she was so game that she still pulled off 3 game scratches including a courtesy scratch at the hour mark?

Ch. Queen was lucky to get by that night but keep it real with yourself homie...up until Ch. Pretty ran hot due to a poor keep ...you along with your hold camp was as quite as a mice...!!!
Thank you for the insight. It was told to me differently by Ch Queen's owner. His words were Pretty was all over Queen until Queen began removing her hardware. I also understand what you are saying about Pretty losing because of her keep but that camp is known for having a pretty good keep. That camp shaped another hound that was entered into another treadmill race the same night as Queen. He lost the treadmill race but imho he would have been blown out of the water if not for the shaping that was put on him.
