I just aquired this bitch thru a breeder somwhat closeby on a co ownership basis. She is OFA'd good, but was never shown because her coat is a little "washd out". The breeder said, other than that she could have probably made it big. She is labeled as show quality. I will be breeding her this month, but afterwards...is it to late for her to get some type of title? Kris Kudel Vom Kristallaugen GSD "Some type of title"...sure. Put a HT/PT on her, a CD, RN, TD, something in agility...but if you're talking about the breed ring, IMO, it would be a stretch. By the time she is bred, has puppies, blows coat, grows coat and you have her tucked up again, she'll be nearing veteran eligibility, and there will be a whole lot of youngsters in their prime, less the washed out coat, looking to kick butt. But, by all means, get her into some type of performance event you both enjoy, form a bond and enjoy yourselves.
