YEAH for the VP's wife who chose a GSD for her husband! It's okay to have personal opinions on the whats and wherefores of the breeder of this GSD; but let us not forget that it is indeed a great thing that our breed was chosen; this is an opportunity to have it at the forefront of the country. REMEMBER who our true enemy is HSUS and others of like ilk whose motto is "divide and conquer". GSDCA Board Members this is a great publicity opportunity...send VP Biden a membership in our club; those of you who excel in the many arenas of our beloved GSDs send him information. Regardless of your political bent, this man happens to be in a position of power in our government; what better person to go to about S/N and other related agendas of the ARisters...if they had their way, there would be no GSD or any other dog available for him. Let's EDUCATE him now that we know he is a dog lover and a lover of GSDs in particular. As several others have posted, we really do need to view this in a positive light and GO WITH IT! and who knows BECAUSE she sold this puppy to the VP of the USA, this might focus attention on her kennel and PERHAPS this MIGHT ensure that IF she is not diligent now, she will IMPROVE simply because of the attention...so what if that is not a "good" reason to do so...the important thing is that is happens...Just my thoughts...Pauline Pauline Moon - _www.ropajagsd.com_ (http://www.ropajagsd.com/) Ropaja German Shepherds: Member: GSDCAmercia & GSDCAtlanta - BIS BISS Ch Ropaja's Chateau Beaujolais OFA HIC; BISS Ch Ropaja's Chateau Beaulieu OFA HIC; Ropaja's Viva L'Endimanche OFA.
