On Donna Sater's request, Jim and I are letting you know that Robert Scholes is dying from cancer I'm so very sad to hear this news. I had no idea..... He is such a wealth of knowledge. He produced many many fine dogs and will be missed. I will be sure to send Donna an email to get to him. I got my very first GSD from him, when I was only 14 years old. He was the only one it seemed, that was willing to give me a "break" on a puppy. I was so ambitious about the breed and showing, I know he saw this in me and is probably happy to see that I'm still active in the breed 18 years later. :-0) Michelle Kaeser Jovon Kennels _www.jovonkennels.com_ (http://www.jovonkennels.com/) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
