I realize Paul that you do not like me...we were competitors in the Vitamin Business, and I remember the scathing e-mail you posted on this line about 5 years ago...At the time I was overcome by your brutality toward me...All i wanted to do is sell my product, but you chose to attack me...Sorry you felt that way Paul, but you are entitled to you opine...remember this is America....I now reserve that right...it is America... Ralph's comment was over 30 years ago...most haven't even been around for that long..At this point in time I am no longer breeding my favorite breed...But I am still a student of this breed. I thought this was a funny story, and know if certain other folks on this line told the same story, it would have been funny...This was not a comment made in confidence, and the poor old judge is now dead many years..You know and I know the dog world is full of such funny stories. I personally don't see any harm to Ralph or myself ... I am sorry you have again chosen to make comment ...You know Paul I know enough about many GS breeders to really do harm to them, but I don't operate this way. So I am not attacking anyone. And by the way about 4 1/2 years ago I put up a nice bicolor bitch at the Cleveland Speciality...I noticed in the next Review you too and Ralph had put up the same bitch..I cant remember her name but I liked her a lot.
