I have great compassion for all these dogs,,,,but....I find less than 20% of 
all the GSD\s listed as pure bred to actually be GSD's .  I donate for every 
good cause and have donated $$$$ to LHSH.  But, as an avid browser of 
perfinder.com please keep your focus and credibility.  There are NOT OVER 
7000 PURE BRED GSDs in shelters waiting for homes.  Please don't turn into 
an ARista.  We are counting on you for truthful accurate info.  A GSD/pit 
bull mix while sad is not the responsibility of responsible breeders.
