> Yay...something uplifting and marvelous to watch grow! > Jamie > Amen to that! A friend and her father stopped by the shows in New Orleans on Saturday to spectate. She and her 90 year old father used to show in conformation. She commented that the same faces were there that day that would have been there 10 years ago, or even 15 or more years ago. People like Reggie, Ross, and Alex are IMPORTANT to our breed and our sport. Ross Farrell (Peggy Douglas' grandson) finished our dog, Ch. Legato's Born on the Bayou PT. We have used Alex. And, I am sure we will use Reggie if we ever get back into showing. I just really like that kid. You can't help but like him. It's great to see people encouraging him.....because in case you haven't looked around lately, the same old folks are around and they ain't gettin' any younger. Handler's knees will not last forever folks. We NEED a younger generation. (No offense to the 'old' guys.) <g> Linda Legato German Shepherds *and the Sch3 Mini-Mal Wonder Dog* http://www.geocities.com/legatogsd ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
