Barbara I am more confused then Pat. Barbara, Like you, I get the greatest pleasure in giving to those in need. I'm confused, though, about who the children are in the German Shepherd community who are needy. Most of us who have dogs to show don't have needy children, do they? If so, why are they showing dogs. Like I said, I am confused. Enlighten me. Werner Image German Shepherd Dogs -home of- BISS Am/Can Ch.
