Any of us that got into this Breed because we LOVE the Breed .....will likely 
ever leave it.
e sure won't.
e will quit showing in time....and breeding dogs in time.    But we won't throw 
n the towel on
this Breed.    
o me.....it is the ONLY Breed for me.   I love a lot of other dogs and 
reeds......but likely will 
nly own a Germans Shepherd Dog....and DEFINITELY will only breed and exhibit 
NLY 
erman Shepherd Dogs.
e started because I loved the dogs and the Breed .......had a litter or 
wo....went to a show 
oined a Club...and was hooked.    We'll always be "hooked".......but won't 
lways do this because 
f age ( ours ) or money  ( lack thereof )     We could never "throw in the 
owel"   because of other 
eople ....or dogs ......or losing .......or winning......and certainly not 
ecause of any Board.
e all suffer through something.    We've all lost dogs we love,  friends we 
ove and our own youth
nd health.......but we love the Breed, the dogs,  the competition,  the people, 
 
he shows,  the puppies
eeing other puppies others breed......and most of all a really GREAT German 
hepherd Dogs and 
ruly good friends!!!   

an't stop now!  There are more of all of the above to come......friends, dogs, 
ins, losses.....Evan....<G>

I have watched this thread with interest.  I don't know why anyone has  to quit 
nything. 
I used to be a Cub Scout. I used to be in  high-school.  I used to drive a 1950 
ldsmobile 
onvertible.  I used  to be single, I used to be young.  I used to watch black 
nd white  television and listen to Innersanctum on the radio. 
ut, I don't do those things anymore, and I never gave them up. I just  moved on 
o other things. 
he sport of dogs is and always has been interesting, frustrating, tough,  
hallenging, and 
ullfilling. At times we win, and at times we don't. All  hobbies and sports are 
ike that. Those 
hat give you a win, keep you there, and  those that don't, lose their allure.

n bowling at some time you bowl a perfect game. In golf you will  eventually  
it a hole-in-one. 
n bridge you will at some point if you keep  at it, have a grand slam.  And in 
ogs you will finish 
 champion at some  time.  In all of those hobbies, you will have ups and downs, 
ut so long 
s  the ups outweigh the downs, you will continue.

n the end the memories and the friends sustain us. The dogs come and go,  and 
ver the years 
hey all become memories. But the people I have met, the  friends I have made, 
he memories of
those who have gone on without me, all  remind me of how great a sport it is, 
nd has been.

erman shepherd dogs and the challenges they provide us all are a great  
xperience, and so 
ar tremendous fun. When it is not, I won't give up, I will  just move on.  

t that point the most I hope for is that I gave a good memory to at  least one 
erson. That seems
nough for me.  But, I will never throw  in a towel.
