I learned a "saying" when I took a statistics class 200 years ago at San Jose St. Univ....."there's lies, damn lies, and then there's statistics".....very enlightening class...FB ----- Original Message ----- From: ELG440@xxxxxxx To: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2013 4:41:58 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Figures are strange In a message dated 9/19/13 3:57:26 P.M.

We now have a litter of eight puppies.  They probably will be all  registered.  If two or more end up in the show ring, that would be unusual.   But, so far, we can't find anything that does not look like a show quality  puppy. But, it is early.  Maybe we have eight champions there.  Always remember when you are looking at statistics, 76.65% of all  statistics are made up.  Evan L.
