Kay, My Jerry Lee was the winner of the GWA in 2005............and I for SURE have to agree. GSD's are doing AMAZING things in the services fields all over this country! WE are the protectors of our breed and it is WE that have to take the time to nominate the dogs that have excelled in their service to humanity. Mo > This would really be a shame. I know through each year, list members will > mention the loss of a service dog in the line of duty....all over the > country. > Surely we could all see that these dogs are memorialized by the "Parent > Club" > that is supposed to "protect" the breed. All it takes is a little of our > time... > Helen does most of the work. > > Kay ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
