Thank you Gary.....Helen has indeed sent me the information and I will work on this for 2009 since the deadline was April for this year's nomination. Your words ring loud and true about our Breed; I think that is why so many of us are so dedicated to our "causes" to enforce what our breed is all about and also why they all deserve a chance to show what they can do. The TDI dogs do awesome work. The SAR dogs are invaluable, the dogs herding for the farmer are a part of America, and the ones laying at our feet or nudging our arms as we type are our family and a very important part of it !! Bring on the GSD !!!!

She is in charge of the hero dog awards. This and so many other wonderful stories only re-enforce the fact that we, as owners and breeders of German Shepherd Dogs are the most fortunate of dog lovers. No other creature can do so many things as well as a German Shepherd Dog. It is a fact that is borne out every day across the world. I believe right now that there is someone whose life is being saved by a German Shepherd Dog. And I know that somewhere there are countless people whose lives are being inproved by German Shepherd Dogs. No other canine breed nor any other animal can safely make that claim. Let the detractors say what they will.... these are marvelous animals!
