About the good old days :) I would honestly like to hear some stories. It was suggested in an FB group I'm on that AKC hold some evening/night shows, due to excessively hot weather in some areas. Somebody mentioned that such was not feasible, and I had to mention that the schutzhund people have no problem trialling into the darkness, and that many GSD people told me show classes were so long "back in the day" that judging was completed my car headlight. So, I'd love to hear some pieces of history before our 100th anniversary national -- Jackie Short-Nguyen Marcato German Shepherds <http://www.marcatogermanshepherds.com/> ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
