I can't wait to meet Harley and Miss Charlotte-Jo! Oh, one more thing... Are you *sure* Beaumont, TX exists? I know I was there and all, but still...

AND Showing/working Yep, Sharon, that would be CH Harley HT and yes, he would never allow anyone to harm Charlotte-Jo, or me. He has the most awesome temperament. I smile every time he goes through the loose lead temperament exam in the ring. Aloof and confident. He and his grandmother, CH DianaBanana, are the first GSD's I have owned that are NOT gun-shy. As I said before, thank you breeders for improving this great breed so very much!! Paulette, you will have to meet 9 year-old Charlotte-Jo in Springfield. I don't think she will bite you; if she does, she only has a few teeth, so it shouldn't hurt, much. If a GSD has 1200-1500 PSI of pressure in their bite, I would hazard to guess Charlotte-Jo has a good 2-3 PSI. She, too, is a tough, protective dog, just not quite as intimidating as Harley is!! But, both of my buddies would walk through fire and take a bullet for me. What is also really cool, they don't bark at EVERYTHING, they seem to know when someone is a real threat and when they aren't. These dogs, even though American bred, are intelligent, eh? That is not to say that Charlotte-Jo doesn't whine, howl, and yelp when left in the car!! She does, but, her separation anxiety is getting better. I have only had her a little over a year.

AND Showing/working Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:06:51 -0700 I was rushing through the parking lot at the GSDC of Sacramento Valley show! Saw this small car with all the windows down, in shade, a small little Chihuahua sitting there so sweet I couldn't resist stopping to say hello little dog. The little dog greeted me with a happy look and as I was just about to stick my hand in the window for a pet I glanced towards the back of the car and there, sitting on the seat with eyes of granite was this huge German Shepherd Dog. He didn't make a single move nor blink nor a sound. BUT I knew if I had touched that little dog I would no longer have had a hand. Must have been a Schutzhund dog Paula!

I think you were either really brave or really foolish to stick your hand in a window to pet a Chihuahua! That's the only breed that has ever bitten me! <G> Paulette McGuirt, GSDCA Member Wellborn-Allemande German Shepherds Qui Me Amat, Amat et Canem Meam ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
