It's sad that you've spent very little time getting to know me before you condemn me to the ranks of the ignorant. It would do you good to remember I am new to showing, not german shepherds. Not to mention that I rescue, and have placed shepherds in loving homes. I have an active relationship with the breeder of my german boy and both the breeders of my amer. boy. I have spent quite a bit of time looking around. I actually spent three years looking before I even bought a show dog. Sure their are good ones out there,and I am always happy to meet new ones. But the list is starting to pile up. And I am not talking about bar room conversations, or ring side talk. I'm talking about personal experiences. I have been lied to, by what seemed like very nice, credible people. Any group/sport/organization that would cover up something like this is evil. Maybe I shouldn't breed. My first rule is do no harm. I wish others would take such care. Or perhaps I am just what this breed needs, someone who is not afraid to challenge the ones who are deceptive in their practices.
