How many are looking forward to the Super Bowl? I am sure there are lots! Wouldn't it be great to have a German shepherd commercial at the Super Bowl? To our BIG THINKERS AND DOERS, lets try it for next year.!!

I have become a serious student of the breed thanks to the wonderful mentors I have had, and who have become really close friends, Phil and Georgia Miller, Hi-Lo Kennels. Not only wonderful people in life but fantastic and very patient in teaching about GSD's :-) I like to think I don't open my mouth over something I don't have any knowledge of but I would like to think I have learned some lessons or two, with many more to go. I am enamored with dog structure and movement, form following function. I have yet to be asked when giving my opinion what I have accomplished in the breed. I'm betting my reaction would be complete shock and distaste. Please don't paint all newbies with the same brush- we are out here to learn, from various sources. NO ONE knows it all--- it wouldn't be fun anymore if we did! If I have something to add I do, if I have a question to ask I ask it, and I believe it or not have great respect for those successful in any endeavor they have worked hard to succeed in.
