We have all had this kind of experience some worse than others like the one I 
had.  Emailed back my standard reply for those who love the look of police 
dogs, and no I'm not breeding dogs to bite people so I cannot offer any 
assistance in stud dog services.  Next, I receive a couple of phone calls, same 
person who really tries to sell me on his bitch.  Politely try to educate and 
close the convo.  Next day, a car pulls up with a load of people and a dog.  
Guess who?  They all pile out and the person who was on the phone pretends that 
we had never contacted met and that I didn't recognize his voice and begins all 
over again.  Meanwhile, they are trying to coax this terrified (very young) 
female out of the back seat of their car and my dogs are barking to beat the 
band.  I put up my hands and said "look, I know I'm better than the zoo cause 
I'm free!  But, I already spoke with you last night, so please accept my 
suggestions and reason why I cannot help you."  At this point, the man started 
to get irritated and demanding.  So, I went into the kennel and pushed the 
house bell and my husband came out.  End of story.

Phew, there is always one that sticks with you.

Oh I sent an e-mail so sweet my back teeth hurt, suggested he become  
involved w/ a local regional club, introduce himself and learn all he could  
about our marvelous breed.
 
I also suggested he consider appropriate health checks before breeding his  
girl...heard back "she's as strong as an ox"...it took all of my self 
control  not to respond "probably looks like one at 180-200 lbs." but I was 
soooooooo  good you all would have been proud!

Well, I  guess I'm on the other side of this "argument".....we all start 
somewhere, why  not engage this person with information and polite 
conversation.....and I can  understand the less than positive response to the 
guy' s 
e-mail to  Kathy.......we need to be careful how we deal with folks asking for 
 information about "our" breed...Ed

Ah, SPLENDID advice, but who knows ---  I  responded privately with some 
ideas too and it is 
really something  HELP is need for for sure.  Glad I'm not involved in 
worrying about  such anymore, 
I think.  Wow, you never know do you?  Sure hope  it'll work out the way 
you 
want it to in your note. 
Kathy, let us know  how this one goes, never a dull one for sure.   Norma

Dear XXXX 
I suggest that you go on a diet  immediately.  180 - 200 pounds is much too 
heavy for you unless you  are 6'5".  I also suggest that you go back to 
school and learn the  correct spelling of the word 'shepherd' and also the 
meaning of the word  so that in the future, you will not sound like an 
ignoramus (is that too  big a word) when you look for a German Shepherd 
Dog. 
I'm glad to hear that  your GSD is full of blood, they do get a little wan 
when they are down a  pint. 
Now, once you have completed the above, please take the time to go  to an 
AKC 
or even a WDA show and see what a real German Shepherd Dog looks  like.  
Talk 
to the owners of the dogs in the conformation, obedience,  tracking, 
herding 
and agility classes about why their dogs look the way  that they do and 
learn 
that form follows function.  Then go home and  take your female German 
Sheppard and hug her tightly as you drive quickly  to the veterinarian and 
have her spayed .  Once she has lived her  allotted years, go to one of the 
breeders that you met at one of the above  events and tell her/him why you 
want a GSD, what you want that GSD to do  and perhaps you will be very 
lucky 
and that breeder may honour you with  one of her pups. 

But in the meantime, don't hold your breath.  
Mary-Anne

"My  name is xxxx, my uncle and I own an AKC registered German Sheppard  
(female); 180 to 200 lbs, full blood, 4 years of age as of June of this  
year. 
We  are wanting to breed her, but we are having no luck  finding other AKC 
registered  Sheppards. We found your information  through the AKC website, 
and 
is wondering  if there is any  information and/or assistance you can help 
us 
with in this  matter.  Thank you.
