I have a bitch who had all her teeth. Just before her second birthday, two lower incisors were knocked out by a collision with the head of one of her siblings during play! Several years ago, one of my bitches broke a canine trying to get out of a wire crate. I have a vet letter for both of these traumatic events. The vet was the first place I went, while the injuries were still obvious. I also have an e-mail from an esteemed GSD judge which says this is OK. A trauma which knocks out a tooth is way different from a birth defect which causes a missing tooth. Such an event is not disqualifying, as one would not be breeding in a defect by breeding the bitch/dog. ----- Original Message ----- From: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: showgsd-l digest users Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 11:25 AM Subject: showgsd-l Digest V4 #1967 showgsd-l Digest Sun, 06 May 2007 Volume: 04 Issue: 1967 In This Issue: #1: From: Nikirie98@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: Litter Announcement!! #2: From: "Laurie Pruett" <pruett@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Weekend Brag... #3: From: chsweetsun@xxxxxxx Subject: MidWest Futurity #4: From: BonJenShepherds@xxxxxxx Subject: Signed letter from a Vet? #5: From: Ann Mariano <brittaleahnasa@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Signed letter from a Vet? #6: From: LauraEG@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: Signed letter from a Vet? #7: From: "mollydog" <mollydog320@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: heartworm #8: From: ANN SCHULTZ <edangsd@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Mechanical Bull Kids Brags from MW Futurity #9: From: candiasgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Litter anouncement #10: From: Robert Utter <utter227@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: no posts #11: From: VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx Subject: A Dogs Prayer #12: From: Dawn Restuccia <windwych@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Update on liberated GSDs..long #13: From: sheila lieberman <dgshwpromo@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Signed letter from a Vet? #14: From: "Sharon Allbright" <sharlen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: GSDCA correspondence #15: From: "Norma Ramey" <gsdramey@xxxxxxx> Subject: Re: no posts #16: From: "Joan Fox" <campaigners@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Kentucky Derby ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Msg: #1 in digest From: Nikirie98@xxxxxxx Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 05:12:39 EDT Subject: Re: Litter Announcement!!

At the York County Kennel Club yesterday in Acton, Maine: Windy Acres' Hunka Burnin' Luv v J-Lyn went WD and BOS from the bred-by class to add another point to his repertoire. Hunk was beautifully presented by his co-owner and breeder, Ariel Cassista. Our goal is to finish Hunk and his sister from the bred-by class - a tough thing to do with a shepherd - but we'll get there. Hunk, who just turned two, has 4 points, one major, and has placed in his class at two GSDCA and GSDCC nationals. Hunk put his beautiful bi-color daughter - Windy Acres' Whole Lotta Luv - from his first litter on an airplane yesterday to New Mexico. "Lottie" - who won best female puppy at the Northeast Conformation Olympics - has gone to live with Jamie Walker and her Leroy Brown as a house dog. While it was hard to say "good-bye" to a really good one, we couldn't ask for a better co-owner than Jamie. Now I have an excuse to travel west to dog shows....

Hello Everyone, Ok this is might be an interesting topic... Someone was telling they once heard of a Dog finishing it's Championship who had an obvious fault (I know happens all the time <vbg>). This fault was caused by injury & this dog had a note signed by a Veterinarian which explained that fault was caused by injury & was not a fault the dog was born with. The handler would show this note to the judge in the ring I guess. Is such a thing even permitted by AKC? How would you judges out there feel about a signed letter from a Veterinarian in your ring & how serious would you consider such a thing? Would you disregard an obvious fault if a signed letter from a Vet explained it was the result of injury? Maybe the person who told me this story was mistaken, I think they might be but I can't wait to hear what everyone has to say about it.

They have no claws or teeth, they can't run fast or fly away, neither can they burrow or build a nest in which to be safe. They smell bad, do strange things that aren't altogether intelligent, have no real ability to communicate with us, although we are able to figure out what they want. Grant us the ability to watch over our humans, care for them, cheer them when they are down, make them laugh, smile, and shower them with our love. We pray that we can bring a little joy into their otherwise mundane existence. Please let them know that when we insist on getting attention, it is so we can check their emotional well being and boost their morale. When we pester them for different foods, toys, etc., it's so they will learn to see us in ways they hadn't considered, bringing them closer and back into the fold ... which they are part of but keep forgetting about. They expect us to know what they want even though sometimes they don't know what we want. Some of them really try and we know they love us but some of them are so dumb yet our love for them remains intensely unfaltering. When we die, please make sure to send us ahead to where ever our humans are going to be, so we can pave the way for them, vouch for them and be there for them when they too die. Please allow us to continue proving the humans are worth the effort. You placed these humans in dominion over us, but you charged us with the task of caring for them and showing them your love every day, through us. God bless these mere mortal humans, they know not that we are their guardian angels sent in love to task them so that they may grow to be part of your plan.

Thru the generosity of the people on this list, you have contributed to the lives of: Willow, Chance, Harley, Buddy, Luckie, Gretchen, Shandra, Blake who has an offer of foster here in Mass and maybe even a ride all the way from Georgia thanks to the dog underground railroad, little miss no name in Murray county who will hopefully be going to Jarnee's next week, Bocca in Illinois, the mange eaten puppy in GSROC, Chelsea another Georgia owner surrender, and working on Alexis in Floyd County (Rome Ga.) and a VERY pregnant GSD momma in Ohio who is in DESPERATE need of someone to foster her in a safe enviornment while she has her babies. Forgive me if I have forgotten someone; there have been so many....there were 5 in a South Los Angeles shelter who I forwarded on to GSROC, as well as a senior gal who they have committed to. Thru the compassion of the people on this list, these dogs will not die in a gas chamber or thru an IP injection; in agony for hours waiting for death to relieve their pain. Either thru cash donations, networking, driving LONG hours, offering to foster, make things to be sold for rescue, or simply offering a silent prayer for their safety, you have shown your love for this breed and your desire to stand by it. There are no words of thanks that could convey what these dogs are now feeling. The joy of a good meal, a soft bed, and a loving hand; maybe for the first time in their life..... Please take a moment and check your petfinder sites in your local area...call your shelters and ask what their euthanization methods are and join the fight to stop the gas chambers, IP and heartstick injections! Demand humane treatment for ALL shelter animals in your towns, counties, states! Find out who is the responsible GSD rescue group in your area and keep in touch with them. Offer to update phone numbers with the various shelters in your area...many of them are out of date leaving the shelter no one to call when they recieve a GSD! Georgia people, PLEASE take serious note!! They are comming out of the woodwork in your state! There does NOT seem to be enough fosters or rescues to take them; many will be not make it out without your help! Something in that state needs to change IMMEDIATLEY!!! There are also allegations of severe animal cruelty being perpetrated on the shelter animals in Walker county Georgia shelter. To find out more about this, please go to United States Animal Protection's website.This groups focus is strictly animal shelter reform and they are NOT pro Peta and have been INCREDIBLY helpful in my search for transport and 501's to pull our beloved GSDs! Blake would not have gotten out without their assistance! In the Rowan Kentucky pound, dogs are eating puppies and tearing each other apart. They are putting dogs and bitches in together with no regard for anyones safety! Please bring the voice of reason to bear on this situation by writing the politicians and begging them to make the necessary changes!!! I again thank the moderators of this list for allowing me to post the GSD's that are critical and to dissemenate what I believe to be VERY pertinent information wtih regard to the changing needs of rescue from day to day. I humbly remain...for the animals...
