I looked on the front page of their Yahoo group and it says do not be surprised if we question your breeding if your dogs are not titled. They sound like working dog people and not very nice people either!

Barb H -----Original Message----- From: Rebecca Little <pbgs@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: freelist <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, Feb 9, 2010 8:37 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] I have been unjustly slandered on another list Earlier today I joined this list http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/German_Shepherd_Dogs/ pon joining I introduced myself, my daughter, and my dogs each with their itles, OFAs, and reg names. I was then accused of " misrepresenting OFA ertifications" which is an out and out LIE! Here are links to every one of my ogs OFA certs that are old enough to have certs http://offa.org/display.html?appnum55053#animal ttp://offa.org/display.html?appnum32829#animal ttp://offa.org/display.html?appnum57611#animal ttp://offa.org/display.html?appnum69248#animal ttp://offa.org/display.html?appnum46144#animal ttp://offa.org/display.html?appnum87637#animal  was then removed from the list but that was not the final insult..they seemed o have forgotten that when you remove someone they will still get mail for a ime.  was accused of "actively breeding away like crazy" well lets see here are the ates of my litters for last year and this year 06/20/2009 2 pups and 10/15/2009  pups, the year prior I had  litters as well, this year I have had 1 litter orn on 1/1/10 of 10 pups and have one more on the way. hen there was this lovely statement by the same person And she is breeding a long coat but says she's breeding for show?  I believe hey are banned from AKC, too, correct me if I'm wrong.  Anyway, breeding for how and pets isn't what the GSD is about.  This is a working breed and work bility has to be proofed." ow in no way is a coated GSD banned and this woman is too stupid to know that ts a recessive gene and my coat was bred to a dog that did not carry for coat. ut that does not mean that all the people on that list know that so I am arnished. Then there is this statement "On her website it mentions her pups can work.  hat gave her that idea since she has many, many generations of untitled (in any ork) parents?  One of the offspring is shown photographed in a harness!!  hat's not enough.  " Well I have many many obedience titled pups, some that do agility and tracking oo. And last I looked at my pedigrees there were some dogs titled in ork.....do any of these count 2X VA Can Sel Am CH Jim vom Fiemereck SchH3 TC OM KKL1a Life OFA, V Häsel vom Fiemereck SchH3 IP2 KKL1a, VA Max della Loggia ei Mercanti SchH3 KKL1a; Can SGR VA CH Hillo De Marne La Valle SchH 3 KKL1a; I nly used the dogs with SchH titles since she feels that any other title is orthless apparently. Then when this is added my blood boils "When people come here to sell list ember puppies, pretending they're responsible breeders with all the big talk ( e should all know who she is, after all, right???)  to distract those who don't nderstand how these things work from the facts and they're really isrepresenting their puppy products as quality when they're not is disgusting!" n NO way have I EVER misrepresented ANYTHING about my dogs or pups! I think its weful that I could be attacked and then not even allowed to defend myself. How s that right? The list in question has over 2,000 people on it that have seen y name and my dogs drug through the mud for no reason other then that I breed how lines not working lines(thats what I feel is the real reason for the ttack). I feel that this sort of thing being seen by a novice that does not now to look on OFA and see for them selves or one that does not know that long oat is not "banned" or that could be lulled into thinking I breed poor quality ould ruin my reputation. Then there is the "come here to sell pups" ine...maybe they should have not been so worried about me selling pups on that ist...I only have 1 pup available out of my litter of 10 and I am holding him or the right show home and likely never to be found on a list like theirs. I ave a long line of happy puppy owners who have come t o me for the simple reason that they want a good dog. This is a SAD day for me hat I have been so unjustly slandered on a public forum.  There is nothing that s right about any of it!  have felt the need to post this here as I am sure some have seen the lies and aybe the truth will now be seen! ebecca Little eakes Brook German Shepherds ttp://www.peakesbrookshepherds.com/ =========================================================================== OST is Copyrighted 2009.  All material remains the property of the original uthor and of GSD Communication, Inc.
