Why? Because it would be good PR for our club. We could use that. And, because it is a way to say thank you for the work all SAR dogs do. Too many times the outcome is not as positive. It would be a nice gesture and should be no skin off anyone's nose as this dog is not being recognized as a GSD, just as a Hero in his own right. It's just a stinking letter. Geesh. -----Original Message----- From: Riatagsd@xxxxxxx To: GrnRam415@xxxxxxx; InquestGSD@xxxxxxx; lfossland@xxxxxxx; EastGSD@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 6:07 PM Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Shiloh Shelpherds In a message dated 3/21/2007 6:10:06 P.M.

Have we done this before for other breeds and mix breeds, sent letters of recognition?? If not, why are a lot of you wanting to do this now for a dog that is NOT a German Shepherd Dog? Are other parent clubs doing this for our AKC registered German Shepherds and do you think the National Shiloh Shepherd Club would do this for a German Shepherd Dog that they so obviously (its on the web site) dislike? I really don't understand this thread at all. Judy AOL now offers free email to everyone.
