Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!! Aside from spending the majority of my Christmas work vacation with family (two-legged and four-legged alike), I have "inherited" almost 10 years of old GSDCA Reviews starting in the early 1970's..... I was born in 1978, and have been a GSDCA member since 2001, so this was WAY before my time. Please no one take offense, I send nothing but love my way for the history of our breed and the people who helped to shape it. I am just having the best Christmas going through and reading them all, enjoying the ads, really able to study and learn the pedigrees in that time period. I so wish I had known some of these dogs, or at least gotten to see them. I saw a puppy that SOOOOO closely resembles the puppy I kept from my last litter.....don't know yet if he's behind him, but I'll find out :-) I am excited about what I am learning, and only wish I had more to read. I am even more excited to hopefully be a part of the future of the breed, and I truly hope I can do my dogs justice. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Holiday Season!!
