I was gifted some German Shepherd Quarterlies from the early to mid 1990's. I read an article about the Futurity/Maturity system and found it amusing that they had the same complaints about it back then that were recently articulated on this list. I was just getting into dogs at this time and it was interesting to see ads for dogs that were famous at that time. Some of the owners/breeders I haven't heard about in years and I wonder if they still show dogs. I liked the mix of ads from both German and American bred GSD's and the interviews of influential GSD people. Is the Quarterly still like that now? Diane BISS Ch.
