So very true Emilie. Why can't we just give him credit for what he contributed to the breed and let the controversy die---it is over--the man is dead. The many good animals he produced are in the pedigrees of so many of our good dogs to-day. Please folks consider Donna--she is a great person and Robert was the person she loved. Robert needs to be mentioned at our National.
