Talking about these dogs of the past,starting with Lance has been fun  for me 
because,like for all of us, it bring other past dog  experiences  to mind. . 
  The two editors( Krista & Erika) for the GSDC of Alaska  wrote me to get 
history information for their newsletter,so I thought maybe you  all would 
enjoy 
what I shared with them,about Mrs Geraldine Dodge and the  original Morris & 
Essex

Did you  ever attend the Morris and Essex show?


I sure did. I took my Ch. Cuno von der Teufelslache SchIII PH,ROM.  Madelaine 
Pickup from England judged GSDs. She put on white gloves to check  testicles. 
We won the Breed with him. The show was everything that you heard  about it. 
The one that they started up again now is nice, but no way the  grandeur of 
back then. It was held on the lawn of Mrs Geraldine  Dodge's estate. Her front 
lawn was about 4 acres,beautifully groomed. No ropes  or stakes. The people in 
their lawn chairs formed a ring,sort of like  Crufts,but much more space. Both 
Judges, and Exhibitors were fed  royally.Very,very elegant,-on china and 
crystal. Everyone wore hats. I remember  I felt stupid,because I didn't have a 
flowery gorgeous hat(never owned one),but  I did have a little one that sat on 
the back of my head,with a little veil. I  guess Mrs. Dodge,was copying English 
sporting events. It was very beautiful with  many flowers,the green bent grass 
turf,and white lawn chairs. Yes ,you had to be  invited.My first husband,Dr 
Miller and I were invited,because of the Cuno  dog,and our friendship with 
Ernie Loeb.  Ernie handled Cuno for us at that  show.  Another fond memory.
