When I first posted for a breeder needing help for her dying pups, the thought never crossed my mind that it would cause such conflict among my fellow GSD friends. It never crossed my mind that fellow dog lovers would outright attack the living conditions of a perfect stranger.? Then, attack each other. The only thought that had crossed my mind was how much knowledge is on THIS LIST.? How caring you folks are. How much you all love your dogs, and the German Shepherd.? How perhaps just one person had encountered the same sad incident with a litter.? It never crossed my mind that I was asking anyone to diagnose the problem.? Perhaps, I worded my original post incorrectly.? Perhaps, I am wording this post incorrectly.? I wonder what all of our female German Shepherds would have said if the two Aussie moms came to them and? asked for help?? Would they have shown compassion, or dwelled on their lack of sanitation??? I realize that times are tough, and people are stressed but can't we all just try to be friendly on THIS LIST for the German Shepherds? Have a good show weekend!
