I love the quote below by 77 year old Art Sherman, (trainer of California
Crome) who has the distinction of being the oldest trainer ever to have a Derby
winner.
"Everybody who's had to struggle once in a while or had something bad happen in
their life, they appreciate him more than those people who have pockets so deep
they have no problem throwing money away."
Oh how true that is, and how much sweeter the prize. Being a person who loves,
bred and has shown GSDs, it hits the nail on the head. I remember the quote of
a well known judge, "Anyone with enough money can buy a Grand Victor or
Victrix, the challenge is to be able to breed one." Therein lies part of the
problem in our breed, it's becoming a rich person's sport again.
