I knew Tina at the very end of the 70s to very early 80s when I was looking for my first GSD. She tried to convince me to take a bitch via her satellite kennel program whereby she would own the bitch, make all the breeding arrangements and breed to the male of her choice. The bitch would live with me and I would need to breed her "x" number of times before she would become mine. I could keep one puppy for myself from each litter and the rest would go back to Tina. That didn't jibe with me, so I found a wonderful local breeder who was a much better (and less crazy) fit for me and my hubby and our life together with our setters. And that is where my beloved Gia (ToothAcres Rigadaun) came from. She brought me 14 problem-free, happy years of unconditional love and left us from old age. Her beautiful body just gave out one day and she laid down and was all done. -- Karen C.
