Dear Helen, Your comments are so very true. I can remember when you and Denny Kodner were my handling idols. Because Denny was only a couple of hours from me I did travel with her a time or two. She was a very difficult task master but I learned so much from her. My first job was to paper the crates at her kennel before we took off. OOOOPS did not do that right. She wanted the papers to come up around the bottom of the crate so if a dog had an accident it did not get into the next crate. Well gee how sensible was that and I always did that there after. Plus she showed me how to do shreds in the crate so if an animal did have a problem it was usually covered by the shredded newspaper. That was a really valuable lesson that I used forever. Shreds are great when the pups are getting up and going. They stomp the poop into the shreds and stay cleaner. Denny and Helen were great GSD handlers and I have always looked up to them.
