Well - we didn't quite have the weekend we had hoped for - we showed our Mephisto son in Columbus this weekend in hopes of getting his second major and the best we got was a major reserve today :( Sorry Tami - we tried - Sinbad showed well and did all we could ask of him. Maybe next time. However, we didn't come home from the weekend totally empty-handed. The new addition to our family was just irrestible, although for a shepherd he does have a few faults. First off, he is a longcoat, second of all, he is a blue however, this six month old has a sidegait to die for and the most outgoing personality one could ask for to outweigh his shepherd faults! OOOPPPSS - wait - he isn't a shepherd at all LOL!!! We came home with a gorgeous blue male standard poodle puppy who was co-bred by our friend Jeanne Hamilton and David Waddell! Such a cutie with movement to make a shepherd drool!
