Excellent post, Judy. I too have faith in our members and in the choices in their breeding programs. Penny in NC Theresa..............I do not normally post to the list, but I now feel compelled to do so. It seems that with lists, facebook etc, everyone thinks they have a right to know everyone's business. NOT SO! you are entitled to know if someone used a White German Shepherd as a stud dog if and only if you are planning on purchasing a puppy or dog from that litter. You are not the German Shepherd Police, and last time I looked , we still live in the United States where we can breed our own dogs as we see fit Judy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
