    Fur class

    By raising Havana's I guess I am more motivated to enter the "fur class" than others. I was under the assumption that once a sanction was paid for the breed/class, that a "fur class' was added. I have now paid for 3 straight Havana sanctions(the next three also) and the show secretaries say...
