we have gotten off on some kind of tangent here.
 
i just looked at paula's ad.  if i were new to the sport of dogs,  i would 
learn, from the ad alone, that harley has finished his AKC championship,  
been herding tested, temperament certified and is OFA'd hips and elbows.  i  
would know who owns harley and who has handled him, in what "type" of arena 
he  has been shown and the names of some judges who have given him a win.
 
now, paula says she is not a breeder - nothing wrong with that - not  
everyone wants to breed, can breed or should breed.  it's a matter of  choice 
and 
that's always good.  BUT, again, if i am brand new to this and  think that 
i might like to buy a dog like harley, i will not recognize the  kennel name 
(if i even know what a kennel name is), "asgard" - i will not know  that 
evan and tedi bred this dog.  i will not know who harley's sire  and dam are.  
paula is correct in that anyone can make a call.  but,  let's face it, we  
aren't always terrifically kind to newbies and some have  been treated less 
than well.  maybe there is someone out there who has  their foundation bitch 
and absolutely falls in love with harley because they saw  paula's ad.  
they don't have enough info on harley as a potential sire for  a litter because 
they have no pedigree info at all.  i think that most of  us were simply 
trying to say that certain info is invaluable to the fancier and  the pedigree 
is the basis of that info.
 
i'm probably going to get flamed for this but i am thankful that paula put  
harley's full registered name in her ad and NOT just his call name.  I have 
 seen too many ads that seem to be targeting the absence of the breeder - 
it's  petty, nasty and those of us who have been around for what feels like 
forever  are completely turned off by it.  we are also savvy as to who is 
doing this  and why.
 
anyway, jmo on the subject
diane, who ADORES harley's sire - he is one of the most wonderful "people"  
i have ever met

So, am I  to assume that perhaps we should change our club name to The 
German Shepherd  Dog Breeders Club of America, Inc.?  Perhaps Susan should stop 
accepting  any money for ads that are not for Stud Dogs and puppies for 
sale??

You  don't have to knock me upside the head more than 3or 10 times before I 
learn  my lesson!!   If there isn't any room for proud owners/exhibitors,  
so be it.

Keep breeding and I hope you find lots of us suckers to spend  their money 
building your ROM's and other records.  I can easily find  other places to 
spend my money.  

Paula, 24 days and  counting
