I have never met Angelika personally, but she must have been a wonderful woman who loved her dogs over anything. At the time we started corresponding she had heard about a dog she had sold to a man in Phoenix and was trying to find someone who could help locate this dog. Her champion male had died (don't remember his name) and this one was his son. Apparently the Phoenix people did find him and found him in deplorable condition. Angie wanted to buy him back but the man told her he was not for sale. Eventually, as money talks, she paid a good price for him, took him home and got his championship. She was so happy that he had finally come home. She must have been a great lady and I am really sorry I never had the opportunity to meet her. You'll be in peace now with the dogs you loved so much, Angie. Lee Liane (Lee) Fossland Steppenwind German Shepherds www.steppenwindgsd.com Home of Ch.
