AH yes.......I think I remember him too! <G> Toss.........er...BOSS....was not shown the following year at the National as he was working with me as a security dog on the movie set of Phenomenon with John Travolta that was shot locally here in the town of Auburn, Calif. ( we patrolled the sets between shootings as the equipment and sets were worth the price of two of our house.........<G> ) Quite a few night shifts for us for that movie! John Travolta was mobbed as he made his way around our small town to the set.......but Robert Duvall could go all over the town and eat in the local restaurants and half the people didn't recognize him. I never did see Kevin Bacon's wife around ( Kira Sedgewick ) I was bummed out about missing the '96' National.........but ah YES....then came 1997!! <G> By the way.........in 1973 at my very first National .......one of my biggest thrills was to meet Yoncalla's Mike and spend a few minutes with him. What an awesome German Shepherd Dog!!! Like Boss.........his photos never did him justice.....not even the same..... as the dog in 'person' Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.Marhaven.com ----- Original Message ----- From: edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxx To: showgsd-l Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 8:32 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] My first National 95 in LA ( orange county).....Bi-color dog, Spencer went GV.......met Dick Whalen and Gotti at that National....could be wrong about the year, fell in Love with another Bi-color dog that did not go select...I think his call name was Ross, or Toss...oh yeah, now I remember...it was BOSS!, what a dog!
