My mom always told me not to say anything to someone else you would not want repeated if you could not say it to that persons face. This does not refer to anyone on this list or off it, or what might have been previously mentioned, but it should always matter what happens to a animal. No matter who a person might be always remember that you are responsible for what you bring into this world, to they leave it. I see way too many GSD's running lose, in shelters, owned by people that do not take care for them and yes the one responsible for the breeding is the responsible one for this happening. I have brought horses back home I was the breeder of when the person could not longer care for them, to I could rehome them. The animal does not ask to come into this world and if you are responsible for the mating you best do them justice. Anyone can be a breeder but always put that animal first if you are. With the New Year coming, I hope everyone has a great year and happy one. There will never be a time when everyone agrees on everything but life is precious and a dog has way too short of life which I am sure many agree with.

In some ways that is a good thing. There are many times I have deleted something I was going to say. As I have heard, only say what you would say if your mother was listening. That seems to be a good filter. Evan L.
