I don't know about the German dog, but we sure did get a top stud dog out here. I can answer for Patriot, who is sure one of the top dog at our place right now. Jeff Mobeus and Jane Kerner sent him out to California to stand at stud. He has a son Harrison, (this years, Open Dog winner at the national), and another son Antonio, (this years Winner's Dog, Futurity Victor and Select dog) standing in their neighborhood. (Not to ignore O'Connor who we co-own with the Famous Linda Battistoni, who also sent this dog to Southern California, while she kept the brother). Tedi evidently started suggesting this over a year ago to Jane and Jeff, and never mentioned it to me. After the national Jane and Jeff decided to let him come stay with us, and we co-own him with them. He is proving to be very popular here in California, and a number of bitches have already been sent to him, and a few have received chilled semen. It is a way to help make dogs accessible without the horrific cost of shipping. I think it is because Jane and Jeff care so much about the future of our breed and a tribute to tolerance, to allow George W to reside with such a flaming liberal. George hasn't said a word yet. We avoid politics and religion, and just talk about the bitches he has met and who will be here next week. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
