New people, it has been pointed out to me by someone "I like" that my comment about Ernie was only negative. It was never meant to be negative, but just a comment about a particular show, and actually as something funny. Ernie Loeb was a giant in our breed for 60 years and had more knowledge is his little finger, then those currently attempting to discussing his virtues. In 2000, I proposed dedicating the Nationals to him. I want you all to know he was extremely important to this breed and loved and admired by many. He dumped my dog at a show, so did other people and that is absolutely of no importance, never was, never will be, and wasn't even then. Ernie needs to be remembered as one of our greats. It confuses me why some people go on a personal attack. There is so much more to life. Helen ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
