I donât think that Theresa believes we are doomed, Flowerboy, merely
uneducated. People invariably believe in the here and now and are not inclined
to look backward, which is exactly what we should do when contemplating a
breeding. WE ARE WHAT WE WERE certainly applies. I check old pedigrees ALL
the time; with all the problems there are today, itâs the only way I can
educate myself as to WHY. Breeding is still and will always be a crapshoot,
albeit it educated or not. We have no way of knowing exactly how those genes
are going to tumble together. As for me, I know one thing: In the 80s we bred
my Ketchy (Caralonâs Ketchikan of Huslyn, CGC, CD, OFA) to a half
German/American male and ALL of those puppies lived to 14-17 years of age.
What a wonderful breeding. I must be dumb because itâs taken me this long to
realize that I need an infusion of German blood for longevity and vitality. I
am a slow learner. <G>

If anybody IS interested in the past, a great book to read would be The German
Shepherd Today by Wynn Strickland. It includes many old pedigrees and loads of
pictures/pedigrees of American dogs right up to the late 80s. Itâs a good
book to see WHERE we came from.
