I went to my first Nationals in 2005, in North Carolina.  Didn't show that 
time, but watched and learned.  Went with Mo Murkland, Grace Eaton and met up 
with Lee Ealy.  I learned alot from that trio, plus the many people I cornered 
for hours.  Watched alot of dogs!  Went home, finished my Spunky!  Then decided 
I'd like to breed him and that I had enjoyed showing so much, that wanted a 
second showdog, and a foundation bitch.  Looked all over the country and found 
some very special bitches!  Mo Murkland had her vet check out all the bitches 
preliminary hip and elbow xrays.  That was first check point.  Then compared 
pedigrees, to try to do the best job of assisting Mother Nature in making sure 
pups would be the best they can be.  Finally, thanks to Cyndi and Bart Bartley, 
purchased Chablis Stylistic High Heels, aka Prada.  She is now 21 months old.  
Spunky went to the Colorado and became the #12 Select.  WOW!  So, this year 
will show Spunky (aka Sel. Ex. Ch. Konigin's Phantom of the Opera, OFA, OVC, 
BISS, TT,TD,HIT), and Prada in Novice class.  When Prada is two, will be OFA'd 
and then pups!

So, slow process, but it needs to be done right!  As a side note, had I been as 
careful breeding my own children, not sure I'd have had any!

I have a question?  Many of you have been in GSD's for years.  How long 
after your first national did you start breeding or did you start breeding 
and then go to your first national?  If you started breeding and then went 
to the national, did going to the national change your breeding strategy?
My first National was in 2004 (Canadian) and it totally changed my view of 
GSD's.  I think up until that point, I didn't realize what was truly 
involved in becoming a breeder.  It really opened my eyes.
