for the record I never said that...I have trained in BOTH German and English...all I said is that it makes no difference....anyone who believes it does ,God bless them, but dogs understand consistency..Ed  ----- Original Message ----- From: "Micky" <micky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 7:35:45 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Pretentious & a BS artist? I guess there is no need to comment on why I happen to use German commands. I'm pretentious and a BS artist. Never realized there would be anyone who thought of me that way just because I use German commands. Sure glad those who have helped me on my journey both in SchH & AKC obedience have been much nicer to me face-to-face. I'm also pretty sure they don't think of me this way. Just pondering the need for this kind of criticism.
