Here is a new topic for the New Year. > How many on the list started showing German Shepherds because one or both of > their parents bred and showed German Shepherds. > Did you carry on your parent's lineage and kennel or start your own? My father bought me my first gsd when I was 7 yrs old because I kept bringing sick strays home. I wanted a "Lassie dog", but my father had been impressed with gsds in the Korean War and thought one would be a good companion for the little girl who liked to go miles into the woods by herself. He was right! No one else in my family has been to a dog show.

When my first love Nytscke was about 8 years old she finally consented to come in with him loose because I refused to put him out in the middle of winter. The dogs have always been my passion not even my husband is interested in fact he has never been to a dog show. sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
