While wholeheartedly agree with this article, I cannot take credit for writing it...this was sent to me from a friend who saw it on another breed list (with permission to cross post), and just HAD to forward it to all of my doggy friends! So post away!

Thank You Mam......this should be required reading for anyone who has EVER bred a dog, or plans to. And this should be required reading at every single regional club educational meeting. May I please forward this article to every dog magazine I have an email for???? May I please print and distribute at our upcoming club meeting and at our upcoming specialty show??? The Diamond State GSDC recently joined the DE Dog Owners association, and everyone there should be reading this article too. And with your permission, I will be more than glad to make copies and distribute there too.
