Hi all, After losing my baby girl Dallas to a very aggressive lymphatic cancer several weeks ago I've been in this strange limbo. I miss her, my husband and kids miss her, even the cat misses her. She was taken from us way too early as she was only 8 and a half years old (she was out of R-Man bred to a Schokrest Presidio daughter). I had been hoping to raise our next GSD puppy with her but stopped my search almost before it began when we found out she was sick. I decided to try my search for a puppy again. I will always miss her and grieve for a while but that doesn't mean that we should be without a GSD in the house :-) We live in rural part of NW Indiana about an hour from Chicago so I am looking for available American puppies reasonably close in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan or Ohio. I started in dogs over 20 years ago in Obedience and agility but more recently have been involved in confirmation with GSDs. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Gender, coat, and color doesn't matter. I'm leaning more towards a pet quality puppy rather than a show puppy as I have two young boys and not a lot of free time for dog shows anymore. I can give references from many well known GSD people as well as vet references. Thank you Jill Krzyzak LaPorte, Indiana ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
