Sorry for the gibberish. Here's what I meant to say... Theresa writes: "Wrong comparison the Ford Model T... September 1908 to October 1927" Sorry, but I really don't understand the point you're trying to make. You obviously didn't understand the point I was trying to make either. I was talking about PROGRESS. I was not actually comparing Troll to a car! Theresa, I went to your website and it appears that you do not show, nor do you breed, nor do you participate in any performance/obedience venues. (I didn't see any dogs with titles, but perhaps you haven't listed the titles.) I have to ask - how have you learned so much about contemporary GSD's? From looking at pictures in a book? If you haven't "been there and done that," how can you advise or criticize knowledgeable conscientious breeders who have poured their life's blood into the improvement of the Breed? They are the audience on this List. By coming on here and criticizing all contemporary AKC conformation show dogs, you have lost any shred of credibility you may have had before making these repetitive posts. BTW, after giving much thought to the input of other Listers, who wrote me and called me, I rescind my apology re. the one-liner that I made last night. It was not a malicious comment.
