I don't post too often, but I am an avid reader of ALL of your posts.

My GF just got promoted AGAIN (3 times in one year((good for her, I know lol))). So I will be moving from Chicago, IL to Davenport Iowa. It took a couple of days to realize that I will not have the luxury of Scott Smiths All Animal Expo, Or Tinley anymore Not to mention the local breeders I have come to be friends with, (Scott himself, Tom Furr, Mark Pettros, Ext,)

Any one know any Shows/Friendly Breeders within 100 miles of Davenport?

Thanks.

Just a thought, you don't have to miss Chicago. You are only moving 175 miles away. That's a couple hour drive. I think you will be fine

I said luxury. I will most likely still make it to Tinley, but I am going to need a place to get feeders and possibly vend once in a while.
I am NOT driving all that way 1-2 times a month just for feeders.
150 miles there, 150 miles back, round trip is a whole tank of gas which equals out to about 50-60 federal notes.
So in lieu of pulling out my crayon box for you, my question still stands.
Not trying to be d!ck, but Im just frustrated with everything lately.. Whaaaa, Whaaaaaa. Sometimes, I am just a whiny little bee-son-eech, or bis-nich se vous pre'fe'rez. (if you prefer)

how about breeding your own out there. since you won't be going to show you'll have extra time to care for them

John Dague of JD Constriction is a great guy and has really interesting axanthic crosses. Very honest breeder and good reputation.
