While getting caught up in writing about my whirlwind herding weekend, I left out the best part of yesterday. Caleb and I got our first qualifying Started A-Course run under fellow GSD enthusiast, Judge Dot Delisle. It is so cool to run under a GSD person - instead of the rest who while they admire the big dogs, feel that you would be better suited herding with a real herding dog..... sometimes I think they forget that shepherd is part of our name. Thank you Dot! ~ Val Manning Rancho Terra Norte' Wellington, CO ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
