This is not a nasty message and it's too bad the following brag and the truth surrounding this issue is being made during the holidays. It is the truth because this individual is buying a new dog but has others of hers in rescue with kizwiz and won't take her back because she is spayed and no use to her? I just took an 11 year old back of mine because her owners divorced, yes, kudos to me and all other breeders who take back their own dogs. I placed the 11 year old and got back a 6 year old because her owner went into assisted living. I would never buy another dog if I couldn't take back my own. So we can be truthful when others we know do not take the same responsibility for their dogs and buy others while leaving ones they brought into the world in rescue? That doesn't make sense to me nor should it to anyone else in my opinion. Anyhow, I understand where this individual is coming from. Thanks for speaking up on this issue.

Too bad she was spayed, maybe then you would have taken her back. -----Original Message----- From: CheradonGSD <CheradonGSD@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Mon, Dec 24, 2012 12:09 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Exciting Announcement---my new handsome boy-JACK !!
