Hi everyone, Sheila Metz from Lindenhill GSD writing my once every two 
year post. My husband tells me there are many newcomers to this list, 
and that is great. I urge them to read the July issue of the Review 
cover to cover. I am not a big fan of the Review as being all-volunteer 
the content leaves much to be desired, but thank God we have a magazine 
at all. At any rate, the interviews with Ann Schultz and Sandy Anderson 
are must reads for every person even thinking about starting a breeding 
program, or for that matter people like ourselves who are entering their 
30th year in the breed and need a refresher to remind ourselves why we 
devote every dime and hour to our beloved dogs.
These two women have shared vast amounts of information with the fancy 
in this piece;things that take us years to learn in the breed by trial 
and error, heartbreak and success. For every person who whines about 
buying a 13 week old puppy that fails to turn into a U.S. select animal, 
or develops a health problem, read the interviews.
Also, there is a great article on DM. Sure enough, the "original" 
research describing the condition was false all along. Beware, those who 
KNOW how and where a health problem comes from. If we did, this would be 
an easy game.
Kudos to Linda Kury and my friend Sharon Todoroff for assisting in the 
Legacy program--none of us are getting any younger--and we all need a 
plan for our dogs.
Finally, a big thank you to my friend Chris Carter for the back breaking 
work of compiling the ROM males. This job is a full time horror story, 
complete with people calling her to make sure their dogs point totals 
are correct. See all the dogs on this list? That is a lot of phone calls 
to take when she is trying to take care of her own kennel family.
It is easy to get on this list and opine. It is hard to take care of 
your own doggie family and write these articles, do the research, and 
help educate the fancy.
I will write again in a couple years, be well all of you!
P.S. No diss to Susan Casey and the Review. I am a retired writer and I 
know how hard it is to churn this out every month for all of us.
