For those who have not had the pleasure of meeting Daphne, she has worked for years to support the Rin Tin Tin lines, and the German shepherd. She has one of, or perhaps the largest collection of German shepherd items ever assembled. At one time they were offered to the GSDCA, but there was no way to maintain them. There person who left them to Daphne insisted that it not go to the GSDCA. No one else has the facilities to maintain the collection. For years Daphne brought a part of the collection to the nationals, and I hope they invite her to do it again some day. It is amazing to see. Those new in the breed should have a right to enjoy the collection as well. But, the insurance for moving it is quite high. I guess whoever makes a movie, and puts up the money, gets to make those decisions. It would be nice for the public to enjoy our breed in any way, and I do feel the modern German shepherd is quite different to the style of the original Rin Tin Tin. I am not sure it would be better to show a dog unlike what we have today, or to honor the memory of the old style dog. Daphne deserves credit for her years of dedication she has continued, and certainly must be included in some way if they do decide to remake the story.
