even though I am not a GSDCA member, I truly believe that ANYONE who is bestowed the tile of breeder of the year must deserve it.. Joan Fox, the Fords, Barbara Amidon, Cappy & Gloria etc etc are TRUE breeders - not just "of the year" -rather, breeders every year.. your presence in our breed is unquestionable and your impact is significant - in a positive sense..The people on this list are an intelligent bunch - they know who has brought the breed to it's current stature as well as who's influence has been detrimental - to the breed as well as to the fancy.(Read as the current political gongs on...) thanks for what you et al have given our breed - both in our animals and in our sport.
