Just got a call from a good friend with Springer Spaniels. Her 9yr old veteran dog just got his invite to Eukanuba. This guy hasn't been shown a lot. However, when he has shown, he's taken the breed, even at specialties, out of the veterans class. I have known this dog since he was a pup and am thrilled for her. Since the subject of veterans has been on the List lately, I though this was a cool thing to share. Does the heart good to see the old dogs get a chance :-) Laura Thomas http://www.treasureranchgsds.com/ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
