Does anyone know how the English lines are faring today? Does anyone have friends in England that they keep in touch with? Dawn =============================================================== Dawn, If you were a member of Tari Kridler's list (CHGermanShepherddogshow list) you would have seen several pictures from a current English show kennel. This man has beautiful dogs, deep bodied, masculine and appearing to have excellent angulation. Not the extreme toplines that we see in American photographs but then I don [t think they favor setting up the dog that way. It this is a sample of what you can find in England today - I'd say they are faring pretty well.
