I met Ms. Walter when I was showing my dog in Canada...we both had the same handler, the late great PeterFaucher!......Peter told me that my dog's main competition that weekend would be from his, ( Caren's) 9-12 puppy...Cedar's Schubert.....well I was lucky to beat that future great dog two of the three days...two weeks later we returned to Canada hoping to finish my Boss son.....Caren was so gracious to me....I noticed that her dog was not entered the first day and I asked her why....she smiled and stated to me that in her opinion my dog would finish the first show and she liked her chances the next two days with my dog out of the way....God bless Caren....I finished and she went WD the next two days...several months later at the Canadian National in Vancouver, I spoke again with Ms. Walters, and got to see Peter take Schubert to CANADIAN SELECT under Ms Cappy Pottle!....last time I ever saw all three of them.....it pained me to miss this past Canadian National....I love the Canadians....and never ever forget what they did for our stranded US citizens after 9/11/01........incidentally that Canadian National was just a few weeks after 9/11/01.........the best thing about showing dogs is the experience you get from some special people....Caren was one of them......Ed Hill ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Barnhart" <jim_barnhart@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: sandy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 2:20:36 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Sad Day in British Columbia Here are some photos of a few of Caren Walter's great dogs:  http://webspace.webring.com/people/pc/cedarkennels/past.htm    She inspired many to breed better dogs just to compete with her.  Jim Barnhart On Jan 25, 2012, at 11:22 AM, Woodsideshepherds wrote: > Canada has lost one its all time lovers of German Shepherd Dogs, > and well known successful breeder, CAREN WALTERS, Cedar Kennels. > She will be missed by many and I know that "Omar" has met her > at the Rainbow bridge and walked her through the gate. > Passed Jan 24,2012 > ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.  All material remains the property of the original author and of GSD Communication, Inc.
