I told Bonnie I would get on the phone and try to find this boy a home as he had had a wonderful personality as a puppy. I was the one that called Kathy Hall to see if she knew anyone that wanted this wonderful dog and she mentioned it to Carolyn, who had also remembered him as a puppy. I take responsibility for any of my breeding, even though I was not the person that bred this dog. I am just glad that Sid has ended up in a wonderful home.

After a nearly three year absence from the show ring (and a "death row-kill shelter" experience), our newly acquired boy, Hunt's Sincerely Yours" (Ch. Organized Crime of Edan x Hunt's Scarlet O'Hara) returned to the dog show world with a bang! In just two weekends out, "Sisco", as he is now known, earned 4 points, including his first major. His first outing at a dog show in nearly three years, just to get his feet wet, earned him WD, BOW and BOB. The following weekend he collected his first major at Monroe, Michigan. Sisco is proudly owned and loved by Carolyn and Daniel Edwards (Windborne) and Bonnie Money (Bridgelady). This handsome red and black boy has a "rags to riches" story, or in this case, a "dog pound to dog show" story to tell. About three months ago, the animal control officer in Oldham County, Kentucky called me, as their GSD rescue contact, about a pair of GSD's, a male and a female, that had been owner surrendered. The female had bitten the owner so her fate was pretty much sealed, but the male was another story and needed to be evaluated to determine if he should be pulled. When I first met Sisco (formerly known as Sid), he was washed out to the point that his red was strawberry blond and his black saddle was a faded mahogany. He was covered with matted dead fur and mud, and underweight. He was a mess. But, the masculine head, the soulful brown eyes that reached into my heart, the floating gait...he took my breath away. I just knew he was something special. He even let me show stack him and check his teeth. What a gentle soul. I was determined to find him a home, and knew I had to start with the breeders...The detective work began. Fortunately the ACO provided me with the name of the owner and the owner provided me with the dog's registered name, breeder's information, and even offered to provide me with the registration papers. She had never sent them in! I found out Sisco had been shown as a puppy, but not since then. What a story to tell... Several people helped get Sisco to his new forever home with Carolyn and Dan Edwards - to them a huge thank you. Carolyn, Kathy Hall (another important partner in this adventure) and I will be putting the full story together and let you know when it's posted on Carolyn's website (currently under construction).
