The only issues I have with these posts are that everybody is churning up a stink over a statement with the word "probably" in it. I do not think the statement was intended with malice, and the way I read it, it DID make sense to me. Do breeder judges know a good GSD when they see one? Of course they do! But, over a course of time, one must admit that they do develop a (subconcious) bias towards a type/style of dog, yes? - Jackie Marcato Shepherds Where it's about function, not flash ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
