Because I was curious, I did yahoo group list for GSD...about 200 or more groups are out there. All type, all sorts, our old showgsd-l list is there, too, if anybody wants to go there and post pictures. It hasn't had a post for a couple of years now. Some titles: GSD (567 members), German_Shephered_Dogs (2049 members), GSD_Today(367 members), gsd-euro (471 members) CHGermanShepherdShowDogsLIst (203members), GSD911 (88members), LastHope (79members), CHGSDs(41members), Oversized_German_Shepherds (48members), holistic, haven, EPI, Genetics, black, white, blue, liver, longcoats, dwarf, quite a few rescue, shop, pedigreeexchange, photoforum, training, sports, and more and more. And these are just the yahoo groups. However, my point is, that lists start for various reasons, and are anywhere from 5 to over 3000 members. Nobody has time to be on all the lists (although the numerous rescue lists interested me...didn't know there were that many GSD rescue lists out there). We find a list on which we feel "at home" for our particular interests and way of posting.
