I got my first GSD in 1971. 34 years later, on June 27, 2005, at the Beverly Hills KC, my beautiful CH DianaBanana (Harley's grandmother), finished her American Championship and became my first American Champion! It just brought tears to my eyes remembering her. I loved her so. Good grief, no she was NOT chopped liver!! None of my dogs could ever be called that. I love/loved all my pets over the past 63 years, GSD or not.
