I'm a very silent list reader, but I have to say that Diane you put it very well. Watch, listen , read and asking questions is a great way to learn about our breed. I have some great friends that have taught me A LOT. Thanks to them all. I have also learned in the 13 years of owning GSD that it takes lot of time to keep our breed happy, healthy and positive and when I lose my drive to work on these issues I will call it quite's. This is a breed that requires MORE than just a kennel run. Peace To All Brenda ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
