Have we all taken time to realize that is what Max did? He didn't like the dogs he saw at the dog shows, so he decided to make a new breed. He had to breed two different breeds, since there were no German shepherds, and come up with something new. Not that there is anything wrong with that, if you did it 100 years ago. Evan L.
