Very true...but some of the dogs Dawn tells us about are part GSD...
are we as a group not concerned about them, either?  After all, someone wasn't 
concerned enough to keep them from being born...part GSD..........
     and I am aware that every breed should have it's own rescuers...but 
comments that imply that we should only even NOTICE purebred German Shepherds 
sort of grate on my last nerve............

  Hi Guys
  I think anything that ANY BREEDER/ EXHIBITOR OR JUDGE that can or is willing 
to rescue,  any breed, or mix is to be applauded. 
   We don't have near the time or resources (we wish we did ) to do the rescue 
  work that we would truly like.   We do what we can, when we can.  We keep it 
with GSDs
  (as much as my broken heart is able when I am in a shelter) because it is 
what we are affiliated with, and known for.   We are known by our GSDs, and 
people often come to us looking for companions.  They don't come to us looking 
for Poms, Labs, or others.   So for us to
  lose our focus, would be detrimental to any ability we may have to re home 
these dogs.
  Would we LOVE to take in other breeds?  ABSOLUTELY.    In a perfect world,
  I would have a huge rescue, with all different breeds and unlimited funds.  
But that is just not
  reality for us.
  Again, my hats off to ANYONE, who can foster or re-home, or permanently take 
ANY BREED.   Every bit helps.

    Let's not shoot the messenger; as GSD Breeders and Owners, our PRIMARY 
concern has to be the BREED,
