[nagdu] air line question

[d m gina]

Thanks so much,
I know they can't charge for the dog, what took me by surprise was they 
wanted the breed.
Asking if the dog was a german shepherd.
I said no black lab.
I couldn't figure out what they wanted except for the fact they might 
worry about any problems.
Could I be correct on this?
