When you say the name "Doris" everyone in the German Shepherd world knows who you are referring to!...we show and breed dogs in an attempt to reach a "Standard" of excellence...it is common belief that no dog has of yet meet this so-called standard of excellence.....in the human experience we too have a "Standard" of excellence...and I believe one day we shall all be evaluated and judged against the highest standard of all....in my human eyes Doris Estabrook meet this standard of excellence!...I'm blessed not because I knew Doris, I'm blessed because she was my friend....if human judges were to judge humans according to God's standard, Doris would have more BIS than most of us....rest in peace Doris...job well done!..Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
