WOW! While Ms. Dodge was a great deal before my time I have read so very much about her and the show on her property etc.. That crate must be worth so very much money among knowledgable Sherperd folks--wow! Jim Norris used to tell me stories about top show dogs being shipped in one of those crates via the railroad. Isn't it just unbelievable. Most of us won't even think about flying our animals these days. Again "the way we were".
