WOW!!!!! Went to handling class tonight with Melissa, Maggie and my puppy. Our instructor, Bob Custer, is a long-time GSD person and judge. Maggie and Melissa were awesome together. Bob had them show off all the patterns. L's, triangles, T's, side gait, the whole works. He was very impressed with Melissa. I was thrilled at how well they worked together. It was a sight to see. Melissa is a co-owner of Maggie and will be showing her in Juniors at the the Ventura Specialty. Can't wait to see how they do. Sorry if I'm not supposed to post that but it was so neat to see Maggie have so much fun with Melissa. And, as Melissa's foster Mom, I am so proud of Melissa's talent and work ethic, win or not. Stay tuned. Laura Thomas http://www.treasureranchgsds.com/ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
