I have always tried to be nice and help the new people coming into the breed..You should see how their lack of courtesy and manners have had me up late at night wondering what has happened to people...I still will try and help the more intelligent new people but will no longer get myself upset at their behavior..It is a two way street..Being nice makes for good relations..What happened to reading and learning some before jumping in and buying because it is cheap and closer????Barbara Amidon Where Quality begets Quality www.amber-german-shepherds.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
