There is a commercial that is playing on the TV now. It is for Honda There are
2 young boys sitting on the floor looking blurry eyed at the TV playing the
video game. The bike rider in the TV taps on the inside of the TV screen and
invites them to get off their butts and go ride a bike.
We need to do something that invites them to get off their butts and go and
fall in love with the German Shepherd Dog. It is less and less likely that you
are going to run into them at the dog shows. How do we get to them if not
through the Internet? The GSD was elected the Viewers choice at the AKC
National. WE need to find a way to at track them. There is nothing that
replaces experience BUT we need to reach them and try to get them to get
involved.

NO..you miss the point. It's just not experiencing "pain and

it's experiencing the whole thing. Maybe that's why we are having a problem
with getting new people in to the Sport.......they want to experience it from
a screen and keyboard......

I agree but times change and if we want to include youth in our sport then we
will have to communicate with them in a way that they understand. If we insist
that they only way they can be a part of the sport is through pain and
suffering then I doubt we will attract many young people to pass the knowledge
on to.

No argument with anything you say.........but reading on the Internet
does not make you an "informed dog person". Knowledge is only
part of the deal.......experience teaches you things that no book can
ever tell you.
For example: you can "Google" the term "euthanesia" and get all kinds of
information about "how to do it"....clinical information....but until you
cradle
that limp warm body of your best old friend and kiss that gray muzzle for
the last time, you will never truely understand euthanesia. If you can
accept and deal with that pain and grief, and move forward, then you have
truly
learned something.
