Something that has irked me for a long time is that most mixed breeds with a black mask are automatically classified as Shepherd X's! Lots of other breeds carry that dominant gene.....they can't ALL have GSD in them.

This morning's headline on the front page read "Horrified owner, kids see Shepherd kill their little pet." Then, when you read further it talks about a shepherd mix, approximately 45 lbs. (yeah) who had been adopted from the Humane Society. Guess which breed is going to be blamed? This type of media coverage should not be tolerated.

Such a task requires a sympathetic, dog-loving observer, who tries as far as possible to enter into the innermost mind of the dog, and who will know how to short-circuit all his purely human points of view. --Max von Stephanitz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
