Awh! Donald McCaig!
Where are you going?...Don't go.... You put working sheepdogs in a a whole
new light...didn't agree with you entirely but mostly - and learned a lot.
IRWS, Donald? Irish Red & White Setters - of which there are some 4000 now
in the world, from an all time low of 7.

Dear Fellow Students,
I have subscribed to the CanGen list since 1999. I almost met Dr.
Armstrong twice - but never quite and never had the chance to thank him.
I've grateful to those who here educated me, battled me tooth and
nail, made me laugh out loud, forced me to rethink my own views and
especially those who defended their dogs against any criticism, real or
imagined. Of course you are right: your dogs can do anything.
Though I remember some names, what I mostly remember is your
brilliant dogs: your Alaskan Huskies, Malamutes and Siberians; your Canaan
dogs and Singing Dogs, your Australian Shepherds, Poodles, German
Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Brittany Spanials, Malinois, English
Shepherds, Samoyeds, Greyhounds, Tibetan Lhasa Apsos, Irish Red Water
Setters (or Spaniels - I never did figure out what "IRWS" stood for), your
Kelpies, Saluqies, Pit Bulls, American Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Corgis,
Boston Bull Terriers, Shetland Sheepdogs . . . . .
See you on down the road,
Donald McCaig
