If I could, I would show you the video of me at age 70 as I was running puppies 
around a large ring… I often showed my dogs myself in AB rings that year and 
the next.  I finished Dreamer in an UKC ring at age 72.  (Admittedly those ring 
were pretty darn small and Dreamer was NOT a specialty type dog <G>).
The only reason I would consider a smaller dog now, would be that I would want 
to show it myself… at age 77, with knees that the Dr. said "Stop running!"  
(Darn,  how DID I get that old.. hmmmph!)

Let me be blunt.  ***Oh heavens NO get a puppy!!***  68 isn't old, I've got 
friends who are still riding x-country and I'm planning on joining them very 
soon!!  Mind you, today's workout has me as stiff as a board and climbing up 
the stairs with all my Costco goodies had me just about done for the day and 
needing to sit down.  But, I'm heading out to buy myself a horse again and 
getting back in the saddle!!!

68 is the perfect age to get a puppy, will have you laughing and giggling at 
their antics, have you walking many times a day when you wouldn't otherwise.  
Add a couple of apples a day, everyday, with your new pup's outings and you've 
got the perfect cholesterol stabilizer!

Welcome to the new 40!!  Now, lets talk about puppy names. :D

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] When is Old ...to Old

It has been several years since my arms have held a GSD in my home.
Instead, I have embraced
3 rescue kitties.  Now, about to move, I ask myself, am I to old?  I long
for a GSD,
how could I not!  But at the age of 68, am I to old?  I would have to
believe that I will live
in good health and strength until age 81.  Is that fair?  Since both
parents were gone by
the age of 65, I am already on borrowed time.  I must make this decision in
the next 30
days........and oh how my heart longs for a dog.....from my nose to my
toes............Guess I will
let the man upstairs make that decision for me.  Hope he finds a place that
allows big dogs!
