Many moons ago I bred a beautiful Great Dane puppy. I used to watch Lena Basquette flamboyantly gait my puppy's grandsire, Multiple BIS winner, Ch. Heidere's Kolyer Kimbayh, out at the end of a really, really long leash, GSD-style. As I had GSD's at the time, I took my Great Dane puppy to the GSDC of Detroit (How about them Tigers!!??) training classes and trained her, other than stacking, like a GSD. She won several specialty Best Puppies showing that way. She never gained respectable height, so never finished, but, it was sure fun showing her. Actually, she did grow as tall as Kimbayh, but then, I wasn't Lena!!! :-) :-) Paula, 8 days and counting ----Original Message Follows---- From: InquestGSD@xxxxxxx Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2006 21:36:33 EDT Subject: Re: BOB brag - non GSD In a message dated 10/7/2006 7:27:27 P.M.

All in spite of his mother doing the pre-show prep work! Smoke was handled by his co-breeder and our good friend Jeanne Hamilton, who had to have the patience of a saint today to deal with the wild child who THINKS he is a German Shepherd - ie, pulling out to the end of the lead LOL, a big no-no in the other breeds, silly boy. Thank you to judge Peggy Hauck and to all the comments from ringside. Once he gets all fours on the ground, he is gonna be fun! Terri Stout This is hilarious, I would've love to seen the GSD moving St. Poodle. Congratulations!!
