The QUALITY in GSDs is definitely in bitches! Not so in other breeds. In Aussies the males are usually far better than the bitches. I guess it depends on what emphasis is placed on breeding programs........ And the GSD favorite saying is......... "Your kennel is only as good as your bitches!" I see tons of bitches I'd LOVE to own but only have about 5 males across the country I'd breed to..... (and NO I won't tell you who they are LOL) JMO -- Suzanne www.tsalishepherds.com Home of Ch Cookie HT PT RN TC CGC, Ch Flair, BIS/BISS Ch Yancy HIC HT PT RA CD TC CGC BH, Ch Flash, Mousser (13 points/1 mjr), Tess [150 PLUS ROM points/40 ATAA points], and Lil' Miss Gilli RN[Mjr Res Winner]!
