Thank you Carolyn for those kind words. Maybe some day you and I can set and go through a very large box of photos of Mike I have. So many only I have seen. Even better I just had several 8mm video film transferred to digital of Mike,Judd, and Big Boy. I had it put on Digital tape so I could lay it out on computer to edit it. Thought someone might like to see them at work and at play. Hope to have it done in a few months. It is hard to find the time. I will donate it to the parent club when I finish.--B -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carolyn Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 10:17 PM To: rfreeny@xxxxxxxxxxx; 'Robert Dir'; cleary1414@xxxxxxxxxxx; nancy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; 'Showgsd-L@Freelists. Org' Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Geneva at Eukenuba I think Geneva was absolutely gorgeous and showed to near perfection....and was trained and handled to perfection. Beautiful to watch. I believe that the breedings back to the fifth generation does matter ......particularly with good solid linebreeding. MIKE will always be one of my all time most favorite German Shepherd Dog show dogs. You had to see him to appreciate him! I never saw one photo that did him justice. I can't say that Geneva reminds me of any one particular animal in her pedigree but I sure can say that she makes me extremely PROUD of our great Breed!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!

I think it is great that a GSD can go big time in all breed or specialty shows. Except for that one little questionable hitch, I thought both Geneva and Jimmy preformed beautifully. I think it made us all proud to see a GSD go for the big one. The question I would like the to put to the list,is, if the GSD won the viewers choice hands down. Then why is our entries as low as they are. Do you think that if there were more GSDs like Geneva being shown, It might make a difference?
