*I spent the day herding, and an acquaintance of mine appeared with her
new German Shepherd, who is an import. She paid what I consider a HUGE
sum for him. He is a nice dog with good temperament, but he sure is
lacking in quality. I think some of the German Dogs are stunning, but
this dog could be a bitch if he had different plumbing. I do not think
she got her $5000.00 worth. Doris E*
