I don't often get religous, but amen! sheila Christiane Rudolf <crudolf@xxxxxxx> wrote: I read the post and have to agree with a lot of it. I am also on the Anatolian Shepherd list as well as the Alpaca Forum. It seems the dog people are the ones that get really nasty. The way the Alpaca Forum is run, the moderator lets you know immediately if something is not "proper. She does it in a kind way, but if anything gets out of hand, which happens extremely seldom, she puts a stop to it. The people on the Forum are super and if you have any question relating to Alpacas, need medical information, etc., they get back to you almost instantly, many even going so far as to call you on the phone. I know a lot of you are like that as well, let's get everybody back to being the kind of people who will do anything possible to help another GSD person, a poor rescue dog, or whatever, as long as it relates to our wonderful breed and the many good people who are in that, no matter what type of GSD they have. Life is too short to spend with unimportant stuff, and I for one, don't want to be kown as one of those people. Off to check the AN Forum to see who had a cria, and what else I can learn to make my animals healthier.
