I would really like to see this dog that can take all those Group one's and finish......... in 30 years of showing, I've only had one male GSD take a Group One and get a major.........the Group judge was Helen Miller Fisher. -------------------------- I have had two in 30 years...Both Safari offspring. 5 pointers from the group, with shepherd competition. I have no quarrel with anyone who finishes their dog without any shepherd competition. They are taking nothing from me or others, and if they are unworthy, no one will breed to them , and they will have zero impact on the breed. Live and let live.
