My parents never showed dogs, but I did get the show bug, because of my parents. I was born in Germany and my Aunt and Uncle always had gsds. My Dad was in the Army, stationed in Germany and when we returned to the states, we brought back a German bred male. My Dad was stationed in El Paso and I joined the El Paso GSD Club, because my male needed some training. Santos and I did pretty well in our obedience training and so I put him in some shows for his CD. I also remember showing him in a few shows, but soon realized he was not show quality. Some years later, I moved to Northern California and met Cappy Pottle and Jean Stevens and that's where I got my real start in showing dogs. I will be forever grateful to Cappy.

How many on the list started showing German Shepherds because one or both of their parents bred and showed German Shepherds. Did you carry on your parent's lineage and kennel or start your own?
