Ok, thanks to everyone who let me know what a TD was. Now I can brag about a puppy from my very last German Shepherd litter. :-) At the young and tender age of 8 months of age, Sandstone's To The Max, owned, trained and loved by Waldy Gorka of Cranbrook, B.C. has earned his Tracking Title. Max completed his track in under 8 minutes. Apparently that's very fast as the judges commented most dogs take about 25 minutes. Waldy said he was sweating buckets running after his dog but, of course, he was very proud. Waldy has that dog trained to a "T" and hopefully, Max will continue his quest towards his Canadian championship in the new year. Horray for Max and Waldy. You can see him at http://www.sandstonegsd.ca/Pictures.htm Max's dam is BIM CH Sandstone's kd lang (who now lives in a home as Cathy's permanent couch potato) and his sire is BIM CH Abbaway Shep Haven Bush Pilot (Scoop son) Petro Haring Sandstone Portuguese Water Dogs and German Shepherds http://www.sandstonegsd.ca email: haringp@xxxxxxxxx ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
