I really was not going to send this to the list but Evan suggested that I do At the last National in Perry I had entered my CH bitch......Bob Penney was the evaluater and Paul Root was the weird stranger......off we went ...my dog was doing just great, but I was not....I was on crutches and got about 2/3 of the test done when I knew I could not take another step....Both Bob & Evan gave me heck for even trying, but Evan took the leash from me......my girl had never seen Evan before ...nor had he seen her....I was sure she would fail the test ...the only things left were the umbrella and the weird stranger......the umbrella was fine, but why would she protect Evan .....but protect Evan from the weird stranger was just what she did..........she passed with a very high score and I thank Evan for finishing the test for me........What this proves is that a German Shepherd with the correct temperment is sound and is sound under all conditions Judy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
